In English machine translation

† Mecheir 18, indiction 12. I, Severos, have received from Sion son of Petros, from the exceptores of the princeps of the southern district of Hermopolis, paid in to us on account of public taxes and other dues of the eleventh indiction, year 109 (?), 1 solidus (counted), one only. Severos, I agree. †

The exceptores were clerks attached to the office of the princeps, a regional official. The year 109 appears to be an era date; 'arithmion' means a coin counted by number, not weighed.
