In English machine translation

Eirenaios to Heroninos his brother, greetings. I have received from you, from the account of the gentleman (euschemon), for the expenses in my charge, for which I shall render account, 66 monochora of wine, total 66. I pray for your health. Year 4, Hathyr 21

A monochoron is a wine jar of a single chous measure. The 'gentleman' (euschemon) is apparently a person of standing on whose account the wine was issued; 'brother' is a customary form of address between colleagues.
