In English machine translation

To Heraklas, banker. Pay to Herakleios from Senokomis the 200 drachmas which I was instructed (?) through Paesis, on account of the moulding of bricks for the estate of Agathinos. Total: 200 drachmas. Year 10, Epeiph 12.

The abbreviated verb ἐπεστά(λην) is uncertain in sense, probably referring to the payment having been authorised or instructed through Paesis.
