In English machine translation

[C] Aurelia Herakleia also called Arsinoe, through her father Herakleides also called Didymos, to Aurelius Philosarapis son of Lysimachos, of Antinoopolis, guardian of Aurelius Julius also called Herodes, greetings. I have received from you on account of the maintenance and clothing of the aforementioned minor, for the period from Phamenoth of the second year until Epeiph of the same year, including Epeiph itself, 140 drachmas, total 140 drachmas, my claim regarding the other matters I have against him remaining in force. Second year […] Likewise I have received, for the period from Mesore until Thoth of the present third year of Aurelius Antoninus Caesar the lord, including Thoth itself, 14 drachmas, my claim regarding the other matters I have against him remaining in force.

The emperor 'Aurelius Antoninus' is probably Caracalla or Elagabalus, so a 3rd-century AD date is likely. Herakleia was probably the minor's mother or nurse, reserving her other claims against him.
