In English machine translation

† From Theodosios the Egyptian: donkey-load(s) 1/4, one quarter only, in the month Mesore 18, indiction 4 † † From Kalosikos, deacon: donkey-load(s) 1 1/2 1/4, one and a half and a quarter only.

The 'donkey-load' (onike phora) was a standard transport unit; the commodity carried, perhaps wine, is not named. Amounts are repeated in words after the figures, as was usual in such receipts.
