[Year …] of Lucius Septimius Severus Pius Pertinax and Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, the Caesars, the lords. The heirs of Dionysios son of Asklepiades have paid to Plution and associates, collectors of the crown-tax, for 3 5/8 arouras of private land, twenty-nine drachmas, total 29 drachmas, and likewise for royal land, on account, eighteen drachmas, [total] 18 drachmas. I, Sarapion, have signed.

The crown-tax (stephanika) was originally a contribution toward golden crowns for the emperor and here is levied on land. The regnal year number is lost, so the date can only be given as a range.
