In English machine translation

Year seventeen of Imperator Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus. Worked on the dyke works of the same 17th year, Pachon 20 to 24, at the Hermoithos mountain canal (?) of Tebtynis: Sasopis son of Kronion, grandson of Kronion, mother Taorsenouphis. I, Didymos also called Eunas, have signed.

The 'dyke works' (chomatika erga) were a five-day annual labour obligation on the irrigation embankments. 'Hermoithos oreine' names a stretch of works or canal on the desert edge of Tebtynis; its exact sense is uncertain.
