In English machine translation

11th pagus, of Selilis (?), through Roous and Tiberius, sitologoi of the private canon and of the patrimonium, to Charite daughter of Amazonios, through the heirs of Pamounis, farmer, greetings. We have received and had measured out from you, on account of the commutation (into money) and the money taxes of the 14th indiction of the canon, two talents and one thousand six hundred drachmas of silver, total 2 talents 1,600 drachmas of silver; and of the supplement of the commutation of the patrimonium of the same 14th indiction, 3,200 drachmas of silver; of meat for the 14th and 15th indictions, five pounds; of the commutation of the canon of the 15th indiction and the money taxes, 2 talents of silver; of the commutation of the patrimonium of the same 15th indiction, 2,500 drachmas; […] likewise of the 14th and 15th indictions […] […]

Exargyrismos is the commutation of a tax in kind into a money payment; the patrimonium was imperial estate land. Charite was a prominent female landowner in the Hermopolite nome in the early 4th century.
