## 1. Common Nails
The crates arrived before noon, six of them on a low cart, each bound with fresh rope and sealed at the corners with clay. The carter wiped his neck and held out a tablet.
Chresimus read the entry aloud. “Common nails. Six crates. For storage until the buyer sends.”
Felix looked at the crates, then at the carter. “Common nails do not travel like temple silver.”
The carter shrugged. “I carry what is written.”
Secundus set one hand on the nearest crate and tried to shift it. The wood barely moved. “If those are nails, they are enough to fasten a fleet.”
Chresimus bent near the seal. “The mark is from Puteoli.”
Felix smiled without showing his teeth. “Fine nails from Puteoli, sealed like perfume, guarded by a man who will not meet my eyes.”
The carter looked toward the gate.
Chresimus said, “The tablet says nails. The ropes say something else. The weight says something else again.”
Secundus straightened. “Where do you want them?”
“Not in the open yard,” Felix said. “And not beside honest iron.”
Chresimus closed the tablet. “Nothing is honest until the account and the crate agree.”

## 2. What The Name Hides
Varro arrived while Secundus was ordering two men to carry the crates inside. He watched their backs bend under the first load.
“What is in them?”
“Nails,” Chresimus said.
Varro looked at Felix. “And what is in them?”
Felix spread his hands. “That is the price of opening them.”
Chresimus frowned. “Do not jest near sealed goods.”
Felix lowered his voice. “A low name keeps a lazy eye away. Nails, lamp parts, rough timber, cracked glass. Men write humble words when the thing inside would invite questions.”
Varro stepped closer to the crate. “Weapons?”
“Too small for spear shafts,” Secundus said from the doorway. “Too carefully packed for scrap.”
Chresimus said, “Bronze fittings, perhaps. Worked pieces. Or glass packed in straw under a false top.”
Felix said, “Or something that paid less duty under one name than under another.”
Varro’s mouth tightened. “Then the seller hides value from someone.”
“From a collector,” Felix said. “From a rival. From a creditor. From a wife’s brother. I do not yet know which.”
Chresimus tapped the tablet. “But our name is now on the storage line.”
“And that,” Varro said, “is why a hidden thing is still heavy after the cart leaves.”

## 3. The Account Cannot Carry The Crate
Inside the warehouse the air smelled of oil, rope, and damp wood. Secundus placed the crates against the back wall, away from open sacks and cheap pottery.
Chresimus knelt with his writing board on his knee. “If I enter six crates of nails, and a magistrate’s man opens bronze, I have written a lie.”
Felix said, “You have written what the carter handed you.”
“A scribe who writes foolishly is still the scribe who wrote,” Chresimus replied.
Varro stood by the door. “Then write less.”
Chresimus looked up.
Varro said, “Six sealed crates received under tablet from Puteoli. Claimed as common nails by the carrier. Unopened. Stored under seal.”
Secundus nodded. “That tells a man where our eyes stopped.”
Felix rubbed his chin. “It also tells the buyer we are not blind.”
Chresimus began cutting the words into wax. “And if the buyer asks why I did not simply write nails?”
Felix said, “Tell him common nails are never offended by being called sealed crates.”
Varro looked at the clay mark. “If he is offended, he knows there was something to hide.”
Secundus pulled a spare rope across the front of the stack. “And no porter touches them without my order.”
Chresimus kept writing. “Good. Let the account carry only what the account has seen.”

## 4. Felix Smells Profit
When the carter had been paid and dismissed, Felix remained near the crates.
“A man who hides value may also sell in haste,” he said.
Chresimus did not look up from his tablet. “A man who hides value may also bring trouble in haste.”
Felix touched the side of one crate with the back of his fingers. “If these are bronze pieces entered as nails, someone avoided a heavier charge or a sharper question. That man may prefer quiet coin to a public dispute.”
Varro said, “Or he may prefer a knife in the alley to your clever price.”
Secundus folded his arms. “If word spreads, every idler near the sheds will guess twice the truth and shout three times as loud.”
Felix said, “Then we do not spread word. We learn who waits for them.”
Chresimus replied, “The tablet names only the carrier and the mark.”
“Marks have owners,” Felix said. “Owners have creditors. Creditors have servants. Servants drink.”
Varro stared at him.
Felix lifted one hand. “I said learn, not steal.”
“You said profit,” Varro answered. “Men hear that word before they hear the rest.”
Chresimus closed his tablet. “If there is gain here, it is not in opening the crate. It is in knowing why another man dared not name it plainly.”
Felix smiled. “Now you are speaking like a trader.”
“No,” Chresimus said. “I am speaking like a man who does not want to be named in court.”

## 5. The Inspector At The Gate
Near the ninth hour an assistant from the customs office came to the gate with two men behind him. His sandals were clean, and his voice was cleaner.
“I hear crates from Puteoli were brought here,” he said.
Chresimus stepped forward with his tablet already open. “Six sealed crates received from a carrier. Claimed by the carrier as common nails. Stored unopened under the Puteoli mark.”
The assistant blinked. He had expected a shorter answer.
Felix stayed behind a pillar.
The assistant said, “You did not enter them as nails?”
“I entered what I received,” Chresimus said. “A claim, a seal, and six crates.”
Varro stood near the rope line inside the doorway. Secundus said nothing, but no porter moved.
“Open one,” the assistant said.
Chresimus looked at him. “By whose order?”
The assistant’s face hardened. “Do you refuse?”
“I ask whose name will stand above the broken seal,” Chresimus answered. “Mine is already under the receipt.”
For a moment the yard was quiet.
Felix murmured from behind the pillar, “That was worth more than a lock.”
The assistant looked from Chresimus to Varro, then to the sealed crates beyond the doorway. “Keep them there. I will return with a written order.”
When he left, Secundus exhaled. “Now we know someone spoke.”
Varro said, “And someone will speak again.”

## 6. The Crates Remain Closed
After the assistant left, Chresimus added a second line to the record: inquiry made by customs assistant; seal not broken; written order requested.
Felix came out from behind the pillar. “You have made the crates troublesome.”
“They were troublesome when they arrived,” Chresimus said. “Now the trouble has a date.”
Secundus checked the rope across the stack. “No man touches them tonight. I will put Lucius by the door. He owes me a quiet watch.”
Varro said, “If the owner comes before the written order?”
Felix answered, “Then he must decide whether he wants his crates more than he wants silence.”
Chresimus looked at him sharply. “We do not extort the owner.”
“I did not say extort,” Felix replied. “I said decide. If he pays storage and clears the seal under his own name, he takes his shadow with him.”
Varro nodded. “And if he abandons them?”
“Then they are not nails,” Secundus said.
The four men looked at the crates.
Chresimus closed his tablet. “Until the seal breaks, they are six sealed crates claimed as nails. No more.”
Felix smiled. “And no less.”
Outside, the river carts rattled past the warehouse gate. Inside, the crates remained closed, heavier than their name.
