In English machine translation

Ptolemaios son of Ptolemaios to Kronion, nomographos of Tebtynis, greetings. I acknowledge that I have received from you the agreement of cession which the sons of Heron son of Labion executed through you, because I have been registered as owner through the katalochismoi in the records of the transfer; and if anyone brings a charge against you concerning the katalochismoi, I will defend them. This handwritten document shall be valid for anyone who produces it. Year 5 of Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator, month of Kaisareios, day 5.

Katalochismos is the formal registration of catoecic (settler) land to a new holder; the nomographos was the official who drafted and registered contracts. Kaisareios is the Roman-era name for the month Mesore.
