In English machine translation

To Peteeus son of Phomnaisis, from Kronion son of Kronion, grandson of Teos, from the village of Tebtynis. I have willingly and of my own choice withdrawn from the cultivation, from the current year, of the 12 1/2 arouras belonging to you near the village of Kerkesis, formerly of the holding of Asklepiades, and of 12 1/2 arouras of (?) [...], having sown them with wheat and with hay, and that you are to take possession and lease them to others from the current year; if it seems good, release (me). Kronion, aged 66, scar on the left hand. Year 14 of Antoninus Caesar the lord.

The word read as "κταμίων" in the second land description is obscure and its meaning uncertain. A kleros was a military land allotment, here named after a former holder, Asklepiades.
