In English machine translation

Year 2 of Marcus Aurelius Severus Antoninus Pius Felix Augustus, Tybi 10, of the account of Hadrianos(?). Julius Serenus, former decurion, has paid for vineyard land, for year 1, at Hephaistias, in copper: 1 talent 1000 drachmas; for naubion 360, surcharges 1875; for the eparourion 1 talent, surcharges 465, exchange fee 300.

Naubion was a tax for dike and canal maintenance, and the eparourion a tax per aroura on land; the sums are in copper drachmas with surcharges. Several figures and the reading of the account name are restored.
