In English machine translation
Apollon son of Sarapion
… 4 1/6 artabas, 4 matia
…
for the price of wheat, 4 matia, and … matia, in 3 artabas
of an artaba, 12 (?) matia, 8 matia, total 10 matia, by the local measure
5 artabas, 12 matia, by the local measure
of which, to the account of Korax, 12 matia
… 5 artabas, in modii … 4 artabas
The mation was a small dry measure, a fraction of an artaba; 'local' refers to the measure used in the oasis. Several figures are illegible, so the arithmetic cannot be fully checked.
