In English machine translation

[recto] [...] [...] of possession (?) [...] by the provision (?) of the riparii, for we have the sales in hand. Julius Eubulius Julianus, the most illustrious governor, said: "Even if you have a sale and possession, the possession will be brought to you (?)." He replied: "The assistance of the riparii." Julius Eubulius Julianus, the most illustrious governor, [...] [...] [verso] In the year after the consulship of Domitius Modestus, the most illustrious prefect of the sacred praetorium, and Flavius Arintheus, the most illustrious general.

The riparii were late Roman officials responsible for public order and enforcement in a district. The Latin abbreviation r(espondit), 'replied', marks speakers in the Greek minutes, as was usual in court records of this period.
