In English machine translation

Measured into the granary of the metropolis, of the produce of year 15 of Aurelius Antoninus Caesar the lord, Epeiph 22, on behalf of South (district), in the name of Petechespochrates son of Chabonchonsis: one half one third (artaba) of wheat, total 1/2 1/3 artaba of wheat. Further: Epeiph 27, likewise, one (artaba) of wheat, total 1 artaba of wheat. Further: Thoth 11 of year 16, one quarter one twenty-fourth (artaba) of wheat, total 1/4 1/24 artaba of wheat. Further: Epeiph 6, likewise, in the name of Chabonchonsis son of Petechespochrates and brothers, through […] the younger, son of Esoueris, and partners, twelve (artabas) of wheat, total 12 artabas of wheat. I, Ammonios, have signed. [… 1 line lost …]

The date corresponds to Thoth 11 of year 16, the latest entry; the catalogue notes an accompanying Demotic note, presumably in the lost final part. The fraction in line 4 is written as 1/2 and 3 in figures, but the words give 1/2 1/3 artaba.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Reçu de blé avec note en démotique). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
