In English machine translation

To Horos, village scribe, acting with his guardian Herakleides his father, of Mouchinpagis (?) and the associated villages, from Psenamounis son of Asemos, of those from the village of Ankyron. My son Asemos, registered for poll tax at Ankyron, died in the month of Choiak of the 6th year of Tiberius Caesar Augustus. For this reason I submit the report and ask, if it seems good, that he be entered in the registers kept by you in the list of the deceased, as in similar cases, and that you sign my report as is proper. 26 I, Horos, village scribe of Ankyron and the associated villages, with my guardian Herakleides my father: I have the copy and will enter him through the registers among the deceased. Year 6 of Tiberius Caesar Augustus, Choiak 16.

The village scribe Horos acts with a guardian, his father, evidently because he was still a minor. The place name Mouchinpagis in the address is as written, while the subscription gives Ankyron.
