In English machine translation

† From Apollos son of Pitos 1 donkey-load, one only, in the month Mesore, 19th, of the 4th indiction †

The "donkey-load" (onike phora) was a standard transport unit; the commodity carried, probably wine or another supply, is not named. The name Pitos may also be read as a patronymic or a place of origin.
