In English machine translation

Year 21 of Marcus Aurelius Severus Antoninus Parthicus Maximus Britannicus Maximus Pius Augustus, Phamenoth 4, for the account of Mecheir. Julius Serenus, ex-decurion (?), has paid for vineland of year 20 at Hephaistias: bronze 1 talent; for naubion 3 (drachmas), with surcharges 1,250 (drachmas); [for eparoura (?)] 4,000 (drachmas), with surcharges 300 (drachmas); exchange fee 200 (drachmas).

The naubion was a tax originally for dyke and canal work; prosdiagraphomena were standard surcharges and kollybos an exchange fee. The abbreviation read as 'ex-decurion' (apo dekadarchon) is uncertain, and the figures are given as the abbreviated numerals stand.
