In English machine translation

Year 21 and 20 of our lords Diocletian and Maximian Augusti and ⟨year 13⟩ of Constantius and Maximian the most illustrious Caesars, Phaophi 19. Aion and Komon, collectors of the meat-price (tax) of Karanis for the 18th year and 17th year and 10th year, have paid 700 drachmas, total 700 drachmas.

The 'price of meat' (timē kreōs) was a levy paid in cash instead of meat supplies, probably for the army. The regnal year of the Caesars was omitted by the scribe and supplied by the editor.
