In English machine translation

Syros to his dearest Heroninos, greetings. Hand over to Palas, the manager of Philoteris, from the readier stock of wine, 50 single monochora, total 50 monochora. I pray for your health, dearest. Year 3, Phaophi 11. And receive from him a written acknowledgement of receipt, for which he will give account.

A monochoron is a wine jar of one chous capacity; 'single' (haplous) distinguishes it from double jars. Philoteris was a unit of the Appianus estate, to which Heroninos' archive belongs (3rd century AD).
