In English machine translation

Apollonios son of Herakleios, to Herakl[…], greetings. I have received from you by hand [out of the house] an interest-bearing loan of silver coined Ptolemaic money, […] ninety-five drachmas, [which I will also repay] to you or to your agents [by] […] of the present [4th year] of Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator, without […] and delay. Year 4 of Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator, Phamenoth […].

Apollonios is identified as the grandfather of the strategos Apollonios, whose family archive this text belongs to. The full amount is uncertain because the hundreds figure is lost before 'ninety-five'.
