A receipt issued by the receivers of wine to Charite, daughter of Amazonios, for 800 Italian sextarii of wine supplied to soldiers stationed in the 9th pagus of the Hermopolite nome. It is signed by Hermammon and Didymos and dated Mecheir 25.

In English machine translation

The receivers of wine for the 14th indiction (?) on the spot, 9th pagus, to Charite daughter of Amazonios. You have supplied to the soldiers stationed there 800 Italian sextarii of wine, total 800 sextarii of wine only. Hermammon and Didymos. I, Didymos, through me Hermammon, have signed. Mecheir 25.

The phrase 'epi topon' with the numeral 14 is ambiguous; it may belong with the indiction, giving a 14th indiction. The Italian sextarius (xestes) was a Roman liquid measure of roughly half a litre.
