In English machine translation

[recto] Year 6 of Imperator Caesar Traianus Hadrianus Augustus, month Sebastos 22. Paid to the bank of the enkyklion at Ptolemais Euergetis of the Arsinoite nome, to the account of Statilius Apion and Valerius Apollonius, nomarchs, by Tapekysis daughter of Horos, the tax on the registration of habitation and renewal of building plots in the village of Bakchias, mortgaged by Hermas son of Ptolemaios, for 300 drachmas, from the strung register (?) of the village, roll 40, sheet 81, of the fourth year. I, Valerius Apollonius, through Isidoros, agent, have signed for the tax on registration of habitation and renewal, 300 drachmas, of Tapekysis. I, Statilius Apion, through Ailourion also called Ammonios, have signed for the tax on registration of habitation and renewal, 300 drachmas, of Tapekysis. [verso] Year 5 of Imperator Caesar Traianus Hadrianus Augustus

Enoikesis was a loan secured by the lender's right to live on the debtor's property instead of interest, taxed like a property transfer; the contract itself survives as P.Mich. III 188. The verso gives year 5, perhaps referring to the contract year rather than the payment.
