In English machine translation

Year 24 of Marcus Aurelius Severus Antoninus Parthicus Maximus Britannicus Maximus Germanicus Maximus Pius Augustus, Pharmouthi 11, for the account of Phamenoth. Serenos, decurion, has paid for garden land (?) of the 21st year, Karanis: 1 talent of bronze, naubion 240, […] 1250 (?), eparourion 4 (?), additional charges 310, exchange fee 200. And Pachon […], for the account of Pharmouthi, the same Serenos has paid for camels of the 24th year, Karanis, twenty drachmas, total 20 drachmas; for pasture tax of the 24th year, twenty drachmas, total 20 drachmas.

The naubion, eparourion and ennomion are Egyptian land, dyke and pasture dues with no exact English equivalent; the reading of line 9 is partly uncertain. The decurion title of Serenos rests on an abbreviation.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Quittung über Grundsteuer für Gartenland, Kamelsteuer und Weidegeld im Hebebezirk Karanis). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
