In English machine translation

[side convex] Petosiris son of Psenthes(?), 16 keramia Samos son of Patchot, 18 keramia, and for the surcharge 1 keramion, and for the surcharge 1 keramion Bekis son of Psais, 32 choes of oil, and for the surcharge 32 choes. Besis son of Horos, 15 choes and 2 choes Psennesis also called Lykarion, 5 choes, and for the surcharge 1 chous Petosiris son of Psenthotes, 20 choes, and for the surcharge 2 choes [side concave] Bekis the deacon, 15 choes, and for the surcharge 2 choes

Prosthēkē, here rendered 'surcharge', is an additional amount levied on top of the main payment. The 32 choes surcharge for Bekis equals his main amount, which may be a scribal slip.
