In English machine translation

To Sabinus and associates, public bankers, from Aphrodisios son of Merinos, public animal-keeper of the village of Kerkesoucha, through his son Heuremon. I have received from you the sums assigned to me by Ptolemaios, royal scribe of the Polemon division, acting also as deputy for the strategia, for transport charges for work done in the same Polemon division, from the crop of the past year 17 of Antoninus Caesar the lord, for 4 1/2 1/24 artabas of wheat, at 8 drachmas per artaba, amounting to 36 drachmas 2 obols of silver, total 36 drachmas 2 obols in full, as stated above. I, Aphrodisios, through my son Heuremon, have received the aforesaid 36 drachmas 2 obols. Year 18 of Antoninus Caesar the lord, Mecheir 25.

The animal-keeper (ktenotrophos) supplied pack animals for state grain transport; the payment is calculated at 8 drachmas per artaba carried. The arithmetic (4 13/24 artabas x 8 = 36 1/3 drachmas) matches the stated total.
