In English machine translation

[…] I have received from you the rent for the arouras of mine which you farm in the plain of the boundary district (?) of Karanis, for the produce of the past 8th year and 6th year and 4th year, 4 1/2 artabas of wheat, there being credited to me also the other 4 1/2 artabas of wheat which you measured out to the sitologoi of the same year in my name, making together 9 artabas of wheat, and having been asked I agreed. In the consulship of our lords Constantine and Licinius Augusti for the 2nd time, Thoth 20. I, Aurelius Zoilos, have received the rent as stated above.

The opening lines with the names of the parties are lost. The regnal years 8, 6 and 4 reflect the concurrent reckonings of different emperors for the same year; sitologoi were the officials who received grain dues at the public granaries.
