In English machine translation
To my lord brother Paulos […]
Provide to Alexander the presbyter […] according to custom […] artabas of wheat […] and of vegetable seed by the tenth-measure (?) […]
Year 84 and 53, Phaophi 7
The year 84/53 is the Oxyrhynchite era count, which suggests the order comes from Oxyrhynchus. The word read 'γεως' before 'wheat' is unclear and is left untranslated; 'lachanosperma' is vegetable seed, probably for oil.
