In English machine translation

In the consulship of Flavii Caesarius and Atticus, the most illustrious. To Aurelia […] also called Athenodora, from Hermopolis, from Aurelia Paesis […] from the same city. I wish voluntarily and of my own free will to lease from you for one year reckoned from the present month Tybi of the current eleventh indiction one storeroom of the house belonging to you, situated in the gateway […] in the quarter of the Fort, West, for my own dwelling and use, at a monthly rent of […] talents of silver […] denarii […]; which rent I will pay you monthly at the end of each month without delay, and at the end of the period of the lease I will hand over to you the same storeroom with the door fitted to it as I received it, having damaged it in no way except through use. The lease is valid and, having been asked the formal question, I gave my assent. I, Aurelia Paesis, the aforesaid, have leased as stated above. I, […] son of Ioannes, wrote on her behalf […] (?) […].

The consuls Caesarius and Atticus held office in AD 397; the 11th indiction fits January 398, so the date is late 397 or early 398 depending on reckoning. The Greek 'kella' is a small room or storeroom.
