In English machine translation

[…] […] Aurelius Dorotheos […] from the splendid and most splendid city of the Oxyrhynchites, has leased to Aurelius Paesios son of Pamounis, from the hamlet of Pektuapeis, for the present year only, the 41st, 23rd and 14th year, out of the land which you yourself hold on lease from the landowner Theon also called Maximos around the same hamlet, four arouras, total 4 arouras, for the sowing of barley, and that I, the lessee, shall pay as fixed rent 26 artabas of new clean barley, total 26 artabas, free from all risk, the public dues on the land being the responsibility of you the landowner, who are to have control of the crops until you receive what is owed. The lease being guaranteed, I shall necessarily pay what is owed in the month of Pauni, in new barley […] to pay as stated above. […]

The year triple (41st, 23rd, 14th) is an era dating used at Oxyrhynchus in the reigns of Constantius II and Constans. The text shifts between third-person and first- and second-person formulas, and it is unclear in places whether Dorotheos or Paesios is lessor.
