In English machine translation

† From Apa Kyrios Argy[…]: 2 donkey-loads, two only, in the month of Mesore, 22nd, indiction 4 †

"Argy" is probably an abbreviated second name or epithet of Kyrios and cannot be fully resolved. Donkey-loads (onikai phorai) were a standard unit for transported goods such as wine or other supplies.
