In English machine translation

[Column 1] […] 4 talents […] 3 talents […] 10 talents […] 2 talents […] 5 talents […] 10 talents […] 9 talents […] 9 talents [Column 2] For the price of wine for the […] of the prefect, 120 sextarii at 3 talents 1,200 drachmas: 384 talents Total for the price of wine and travel allowance and a mare: Total 545 talents […] for a knidion (wine jar) through Mo[…], likewise, of the guard (?), Choiak 6.

The large sums in talents point to the inflation of the 4th century AD. The word describing the purpose of the wine for the prefect is largely illegible.
