In English machine translation
To my lord brother Paesis, Serenos, greetings.
Give to the brother […] 5 moia of chaff […]. So do not do otherwise. I pray for your health for many years.
The moion is a local dry measure attested in the Oases, with no exact English equivalent. The recipient's name in line 3 is illegible.
