In English machine translation

From Seuthes to Philantinoos, brother, greetings. Give to Aphynchios, for provisions (opsonia), 12 artabas of barley, total 12 artabas. Year 1, Mesore 21. Farewell.

Opsonia were allowances or wages given in kind or money, here paid in barley. "Brother" is likely a courteous form of address rather than a family relation.
