In English machine translation
Aurelius Potamon son of Neilos, landowner at Philadelphia, to Aurelius Isas, foreign (?) farmer, greeting.
I have received from you the rent for the arouras of mine that you farmed near the village of Tanis, 2 arouras, for the produce of the 19th year and 7th year and 5th year and 3rd year: five artabas of wheat, total 5 artabas, in full, and I have no claim against you concerning the rents.
In the consulship of Rufius Volusianus and Petronius Annianus, the most illustrious, Pauni 15.
I, Aurelius Potamon, have received the rent in full.
I, Aurelius Alypios from Philadelphia, wrote on behalf of them, as they are illiterate.
The regnal years 19, 7, 5 and 3 reflect the concurrent reckonings of the co-ruling emperors of the time, all referring to the same harvest year. The term allophylos ('of another tribe', i.e. foreign or from elsewhere) describing the farmer is unusual and its precise sense is debated; the name of the scribe Alypios is restored.
