In English machine translation

98 To Apion, royal scribe of the Prosopite nome, from Pantbeus son of Eudaimon son of Orsenouphis, and Thermouthis daughter of Petos son of Petsiris, both from Thelbonthon Siphtha. We register, in accordance with the orders of Calvisius Statianus, the most illustrious prefect, for the house-by-house census now taking place under good auspices, the property belonging to us in the village: from the house and open plots of Orsenouphis son of Petos, Pantbeus's share being 2 parts out of 5 and Thermouthis's 1 part out of 5, in which no one is registered. Year 14 of Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus Armeniacus Medicus Parthicus Germanicus Maximus. We, Pantbeus son of Eudaimon son of Orsenouphis, and Thermouthis daughter of Petos, register as stated above. I, Didymas son of Psenamounis, wrote on their behalf since they do not know letters. Through Harpok[…], column 42.

The number 98 at the top and the column reference at the end reflect the document's place in a roll of glued-together census returns. Calvisius Statianus was prefect of Egypt.
