[…] [of the produce of the] past [year 9, of the fixed rent] in barley by the receiving measure, [nine hundred ninety]-seven and one sixth artabas, total barley by the receiving measure 997 1/6 artabas, to which are added [one and a] half [percent], barley by the receiving measure fifteen artabas, total barley by the receiving measure 15 artabas. Total including the 1 1/2 percent: barley by the receiving measure 1,012 1/6 artabas, which are reported for the aforesaid toparchy [of Koussites Lower]. I, Aurelius Kastor, dekaprotos, have signed for one thousand twelve and one sixth artabas of barley. I, Aurelius Isidoros, dekaprotos, [have signed for] one thousand twelve and one sixth artabas of barley.

Dekaprotoi were liturgical officials responsible for collecting grain taxes; the 'receiving measure' (dochikon metron) was the standard measure used for collection. The toparchy name Koussites Lower is restored.
