In English machine translation
Year thirteen of Imperator Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius, month Hadrianos 1, for the account of Hathyr. […] son (?) of Heron has paid for the rent of date palms […] of Philoteris, on the lease of Ptolemaios son of Kronios, of the twelfth year, of the Antonian estate, 160 silver drachmas, total 160, and for receipt charges 3 obols.
Hadrianos was an honorific month name equivalent to Choiak; the payment was credited to the account of the preceding month Hathyr. The Antonian estate (ousia) was an imperial estate, and the extra 3 obols are a customary receipt fee.
