In English machine translation

[verso] From Alypios. From the more seasonable (?) wine, dispose of 50 monochora of wine for the works on your estate, that is, the carting of manure and the carting of sand on the properties, for which you will render account at the rate of 14 drachmas per monochoron; total 50 monochora at 14 drachmas. I have signed; and dispose of the 50 monochora of wine at the rate of 14 drachmas per monochoron. To Heroninos, manager at Thraso. Year 12, Hathyr 2. [recto]

A monochoron is a single-measure wine jar; the wine was evidently used as payment in kind for workers, valued at 14 drachmas per jar. Thraso was a unit of the Appianus estate run by Heroninos.
