In English machine translation
Diodoros, secretary: I have signed. Year 15, Mesore 7.
To Deios also called Apollonios and Herodes also called Diogenes, former gymnasiarchs, keepers of the property records of the Arsinoite nome,
from Tepheros daughter of Horos son of Habous, from the village of Karanis, with her guardian, her son Onnophris son of Pnepheros. In accordance with the orders of Flavius Titianus, the most excellent prefect, I register the half share of a house that belongs to me as of the present day in the aforesaid village. And if I dispose of anything concerning it, I will show that it is (still) mine.
The verb rendered 'dispose of' (exoikonomeo) refers to alienating or otherwise dealing with the property; the closing clause is a standard undertaking in such returns. The heading is the registry secretary's note of receipt.
