A short claim from carriers for an outstanding balance of 33 drachmas 5 obols owed for transporting wine belonging to a man named Demetrios. It asks the recipient, probably in the Zenon archive circle, to order payment. It dates to the mid 3rd century BC and comes from Philadelphia in the Fayum.
This probably concerns the same shipment as a related Zenon papyrus in which the price of two jars broken in transit (8 drachmas 4 obols) was deducted from the carrier's wages.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Claim for transport of wine). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
A claim for the transport of wine. This probably refers to the same matter as PCZ.IV.59739, in which, as two jars were broken in transit, the price of the wine, amounting to 8 drachmae, 4 obols, was deducted from the carrier's wages.
