In English machine translation

Ninnos to his dearest Heroninos, greetings. … … … 32 single-horse loads, total 32 single-horse loads, from Talei; for indeed from there […] was released. I pray for your health. Year 3, Tybi 29

Monochora are loads carried by a single pack animal, a standard transport unit in the Heroninos archive. Year 3 probably refers to a mid-3rd-century AD emperor, but the text does not name one.
