In English machine translation

[...] [...] [...] [...] [Coll]ectors (?): [...] Pkylis son of Soitos [...] Petbes son of Ionios Pamireu son of Petbes, Ach..., field-guard Syrous son of Herakles, Kastor son of Pempos whom we guarantee and shall present as discharging blamelessly the liturgy entrusted to them, soundly and faithfully. But if any of them falls short and we do not present him, we ourselves shall undertake the responsibility on their behalf, and in answer to the formal question we have agreed. In the consulship of Septimius Acindynus, vir clarissimus, prefect of the sacred praetorium, and Populonius Proculus, vir clarissimus, Pachon 8. [...] [...] [...] [...] [...]

A liturgy was a compulsory unpaid public service imposed on qualified residents. The reading of the heading 'collectors' is partly restored; the date is derived from the consular formula of AD 340.
