In English machine translation

Loaves: 20; tiphagia: 20 Of barley: … Through Domnion, to the brothers Paulos, Epeiph 20 Gelasios 12 Mesore

Tiphagia appear to be a type of bread or baked item made from tiphe (einkorn wheat); the exact sense is uncertain. The barley quantity is illegible, and "brothers" may refer to monks or members of a community rather than siblings.
