In English machine translation
Petre the proestos (superior) writes to my brother Pshoi: Behold, one solidus has come into my hand for the public tax of Bene (?) today, which is day 15 of Parmhotep, of this year, tenth (indiction).
Thomas writes.
Petre the proestos: I agree. †
The proestos was the head of a monastic community or settlement. The words read here as "of Bene" (ⲙⲃⲏⲛⲉ) are uncertain; they may be a place name or a word qualifying the tax.
