In English machine translation

Year 24 of Marcus Aurelius Severus Antoninus Parthicus Maximus Britannicus Maximus Germanicus Maximus Pius Augustus, Choiak 28. Julius Serenus, former decurion, has paid to Aurelius Nemesianus and partners, collectors of money taxes of Hephaistias, for the tax of year 22, thirty-two drachmas, total 32 drachmas, which I shall also ⟨pay to the public bank and⟩ bring you the official receipt.

This is an interim receipt issued by the collectors pending the official bank receipt (symbolon). The phrase about paying into the public bank was omitted by the scribe and supplied by the editor.
