In English machine translation

[recto] † Our father who writes to his sons, the brothers of the andrismos (poll-tax): Here is one solidus. Joseph, the brother (?) of Psah, [Mo]uses, son of Patbershe (?), [...] the Papa [An]oup son of Shalios, for the three [...]. † Month Choiak 21, indiction 1. I, Anoup, wrote. [...] [verso] Joseph, brother of Mouses, son of Pat Pershe (?): 1 solidus (nomisma).

Andrismos is a Greek term for the poll-tax levied on adult men. Several personal names and the relationships between them are uncertain because of damage and unclear readings.
