In English machine translation
Paid in year 19, Epeiph 10, to the account of Valerius Celearius also called Philoxenos, through Apeis the agent, by Tesenouphis, wine-seller of Philadelphia, from the price of wine of the produce of year 18: 344 silver drachmas, (and) in small change 52 drachmas; total together 400 drachmas.
The listed amounts add to 396, not 400, drachmas; the difference may reflect a surcharge on the small change (kerma). The agent (cheiristes) managed the estate's accounts.
