In English machine translation

Year 39 of Caesar, Pachon 30. Theon son of Mysthes has paid to Heraklas, the agent of Tryphon (?) […], syntaximon of the same year, for Theadelphia, 28 drachmas of silver, total 28 drachmas; and on Pauni 4 of the same year 12 drachmas, total 12 drachmas. Year 40 of Caesar, […] 20, for the thirty-ninth year, 4 drachmas 1/2 obol 2 chalkoi, total 4 drachmas 1/2 obol 2 chalkoi.

The syntaximon was a fixed-rate tax, here usually understood as the poll tax. The word after Tryphon's name is damaged, so Heraklas' exact role is uncertain.
