In English machine translation

[recto] […] apart from what I have registered and sold, and now at the present time what belongs to me in the village of Senekeleu: a third share of two parts out of four parts, being out of five parts, of a jointly owned house, and of the court attached to it on the south side, and other appurtenances and entrances and exits and everything belonging to it, being in the cavalry quarter, which came to me together with other property from the name of my father Diogenes son of Ptolemaios son of Ptolemaios, mother Tekosis daughter of Harthoonis, of the same city, deceased, in accordance with the will which he made while living through the record office of the same city in the month Tybi of the first year of the deified Nerva, under which, unaltered, he died. And I swear by Imperator Caesar Nerva Traianus Augustus Germanicus Dacicus that I have not lied. Year 12 of Imperator Caesar Nerva Traianus Augustus Germanicus Dacicus, Tybi 18. […] [verso] Lower Psobthis

The share is described in nested fractions (a third of two of four parts, out of five parts). The 'cavalry quarter' (hippikos stathmos) was a district associated with military settlers; the verso names the village Lower Psobthis.
