In English machine translation

Year 13, Pauni 25. Pakysis has paid to Ision, collector of money taxes of the village of Apias, for naubion and other additional charges […] and receipt fee, 10 drachmas 4 obols.

The naubion was a tax connected with the maintenance of dykes and canals, originally reckoned by a unit of earth-moving work. The 'additional charges' and 'receipt fee' were small surcharges levied on top of the main tax.
