In English machine translation
Year 1 of our lords Macrianus and Quietus Augusti, Phaophi 27. Aurelius Harpokration, also (styled as he is), former exegetes, successor to the estate (?) of Kastor, collector of the didrachmon,

I, Aurelius Harpokration, exegetes, have signed.
The didrachmon was a two-drachma tax; the abbreviated phrase rendered 'successor to the estate' and the damaged line beginning 'λη' (perhaps a number 38) are uncertain. Macrianus and Quietus were short-lived usurpers recognized in Egypt in 260-261.
