In English machine translation

[verso] From Alypios. Release to Palas, phrontistes of Philoteris, from the readiest stock 100 monochora of wine, for which he will render account, they being reckoned to him at 16 drachmas per monochoron. I pray for your health. Signed. And release the 100 monochora of wine. (Address:) To Heroneinos, phrontistes, at Thraso (?). Year 2, Thoth 26 [recto]

A phrontistes was the local manager of a unit of Alypios' large estate; the monochoron is a single-handled wine jar used as a measure. The address line naming Thraso is hard to interpret and may refer to a place or estate unit.
