κρέας [page 359] In P Petr III. 58( a ) .2 (iii/B.C.) a mother gives security of 20 dr. on behalf of her son who had undertaken to supply the village of Philoteris with salt meat and cheese κρεῶν ταλ (= ρ )ι̣χηρῶν καὶ τυροῦ . Cf. P Oxy XIV. 1674 .2 (iii/A.D.) ἐπειδὴ οὐχ εὗρ [ο ]ν κρέας σοι πέμψαι , ἔπεμψα ᾠὰ κ̄ καὶ λάχανα a father to his son, ib. VII. 1056 .2 (A.D. 360) ὑπὲρ τιμῆς κρέως λιτρῶν πεντακοσίων , for the price of 500 pounds of meat. Frequent mention is made of κρέας χοίρειον , swine-flesh, which was evidently a staple article of diet, see e.g. P Giss I. 49 .15 (iii/A.D.) with the editor s note. The different forms the word takes are fully illustrated by Mayser Gr. p. 276. According to Meisterhans Gr. p. 143 the gen. sing. κρέατος is found once in an Attic inscr. of B.C. 338, hut Thumb ( Hellen. p. 96) thinks that the declension κρέας κρέατος must have prevailed in the Κοινή in view of the MGr κρέατο , κρι̰άτο . For the diminutive κρεάδιον see the soldier s begging letter, BGU III. 814 .25 (iii/A.D.), in which the writer complains that his mother had sent him nothing, while a friend s mother had sent her son κεραμεῖον ἐλαίου κ [αὶ ] σφυρίδαν κρεδίων ( l. κρεαδίων ).
