In English machine translation

I, Aurelius Antoninus also called Dionysodoros, have signed. Year 7 of our lords Valerianus and Gallienus Augusti, Mesore 6. To Aurelius Syros also called Sarapion, former kosmetes, councillor, keeper of the property records of the Arsinoite nome, from Aurelia […]tia also called Thaisarion, daughter of Demetrios also called Antoninus […], former high priest of the city of the Arsinoites, of the quarter of Dionysios's Places, with as guardian her brother […] also called Antoninus. I have bought by public deed through the record office here on the present day, in the metropolis in the quarter of Sekneptyneion and of the so-called allotment of Eutychides, the sixteenth part, that is, of the half of a sixteenth part of a house and of another old house with two towers and a courtyard, all these places being joined to one another, of the half, at a price of 1,500 silver drachmas […], from Aurelius Rufus son of Ision son of Papirios, former agoranomos, and however he is styled, who is registered by a parathesis made through you in year […], in the month of Phaophi, in the name of Aurelius Longinas also called Ammonios, a minor under his control, who himself holds the other half of the sixteenth part. Therefore I submit this so that the parathesis may be made in accordance with the copy of the deed that I have deposited. For when I make my declaration of it, I shall prove that it belongs and is free and held by no one; but if it should appear to belong to another or to be previously encumbered through the property record office, no hindrance shall arise from this parathesis, the drachmas going on the present day, together with others, toward repayment to Lucius Anthestius […], Antinoite, the creditor, in accordance with his receipt which I have deposited. […] I, Aurelius Syros also called Sarapion, former kosmetes, councillor, through me, Aurelius Antoninus also called Dionysodoros, secretary appointed as deputy, have registered it. Year 7 of our lords Valerianus and Gallienus Augusti, Mesore 6.

A parathesis was the deposit of a deed with the property record office (bibliophylakion enkteseon) so that a change of ownership was recorded. The exact fraction bought is hard to follow because of gaps in the text.
