In English machine translation
Horion to his dearest Heroninos, greetings.
I have received now also from you, on the account of the euschemon (?), for which I shall render account, 48 monochora of wine, total 48 monochora.
I pray for your health.

A monochoron is a single-measure wine jar. The phrase 'account of the euschemon' is obscure; euschemon ('respectable person') may refer to an official or notable, and the feminine article may imply a different reading.
