In English machine translation

To Aurelius Heras also called Dionysios, praepositus of the 8th pagus of the Oxyrhynchite nome, from the Aurelii Herakleios son of Pekoous and Iakob son of Horion and Thonis son of Hatres, the 3 former collectors of grain of the village of Dositheou for the past ninth and 7th year. We submit and report, at our own risk, for the collection of grain of the same village for the produce of the 10th and 8th year, of the private quota, the persons registered below, who are well-to-do and suitable for the service. They are the Aurelii The[…] son of Diogas, […] son of Dionysios, Aurelius Herakleios son of Pekoous, the aforementioned, from the same village. In the consulship of Caecinius Sabinus and Vettius Rufinus, viri clarissimi. We, the Aurelii Herakleis and Thoneis and Iakob, have submitted. I, Aurelius Theodoros, wrote on their behalf since they do not know letters.

The double regnal years (9th and 7th, 10th and 8th) refer to the joint reigns of Constantine and Licinius; the consulship of Sabinus and Rufinus is AD 316. The 'private quota' (idiotikos kanon) was the grain levy on privately held land.
