In English machine translation

Year eighteen of Imperator Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus. Worked on the embankment works of the same 18th year, from the 11th to the 15th of the month Pauni, in the desert-edge area south of Tebtynis: Pakebkis son of Kronion son of Kronion, mother Taorsenouphis. I, Heron, have signed.

Every adult male owed five days a year of labour on the dykes (chomatika erga); certificates like this proved the obligation had been met. The 'mountain' area (oreine) denotes land at the desert edge.
