In English machine translation

† From Io(annes?), priest, horseman (?): 1 donkey-load. In the month of Thoth, 4th, indiction 14.

The name is abbreviated (Io-), probably Ioannes. Kaballarios normally means 'horseman', but here it may be a surname or occupational epithet; 'onike phora' is a load carried by a donkey, probably of wine or another commodity.
