In English machine translation

Year 5 of Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator, Phamenoth 30. Aunes son of Harthotes has paid through Soterichos, cashier (?), the syntaximon of the same year, for Theadelphia, 12 silver drachmas, total 12 drachmas; and after the account(ing) of the 10th, 8 drachmas, total 8 drachmas; Pharmouthi 27, 12 drachmas, total 12 drachmas; Pachon 4, after the account(ing), 8 drachmas, total 8 drachmas; Pauni [.]6, after the account(ing) of the 9th, 4 drachmas […] total 4 drachmas 27, 8 drachmas, total 8 drachmas; Mecheir 27, 8 drachmas, total 8 drachmas.

The syntaximon was a fixed-rate tax, often identified with the poll tax in the Arsinoite nome. The opening date Phamenoth 30 corresponds to 26 March, so the 10 June date likely reflects a later instalment (Pauni 16).
