In English machine translation

† Receipt of me, Eustathia (?). I have received from Joseph, baker, on account of the bond (?) for the three solidi, up to the month of Pauni 1 of the fourth indiction, one gold solidus less 1 1/2 1/4 carats, total: gold solidus 1 less carat 1 1/2 1/4. Year 172 141, Pauni 1, fourth indiction, and for your security I have made the receipt.

The double year number (172/141) is the Oxyrhynchite era count used in this period. The 'grammation' is a small written document, here probably the debt note for three solidi.
