In English machine translation

To Aurelius Asklepiades, praepositus of the 15th pagus of the Hermopolite nome, from the Aurelii Choous son of Herakles and Silvanus son of Pkylis and Phibis son of Herakles and Ammonios son of Ionios, the 4 sitologoi of the canon and the patrimonium of the 13th indiction, from the village of Prektis in the same nome, greetings. We acknowledge, swearing the divine and venerable oath by our all-conquering lords the Augusti, that we, being of our own free will mutually responsible, have stood surety for Aurelius […] and his son Aurelius Am[…] and Aurelius […] and his son Aurelius Teukes and Aurelius […] and his son Aurelius Herakles and Aurelius […] and his son Aurelius […] […]

The 'canon' was the regular annual tax in grain and the 'patrimonium' the imperial estate revenue; the sitologoi handled collection of both. The end of the text, with the terms of the guarantee, is lost.
