In English machine translation
Didymion, collector. Bienchis […] Askalas, son of Pasik(…), has paid for the trade tax […] of year 18 of Trajan Optimus […] 12 drachmas, total 12 drachmas.
[…] of Optimus Caesar the lord, […] Phamenoth 21. I, Didymion, have received it.
The cheironaxion was a tax on trades and crafts. The phrase 'of the lord' is written twice by the scribe; the relationship between Bienchis and Askalas is unclear because of the gap.
