In English machine translation

In the consulship of our master Flavius Gratianus the eternal Augustus for the 2nd time and of Flavius Probus the most illustrious prefect of the sacred praetorium. Aurelius Mikkalos son of Aphthonios, former magistrate, councillor of Panopolis, overseer of the clothing levy of the thirteenth indiction, to Flavius Isidoros, official (officialis) of the staff of the governor of the Thebaid, greetings. I acknowledge that I have received back from you the delivery orders (entagia) for the clothing deposited by me, belonging to the supervision of the expired 13th year, for tunics and cloaks, sixty-nine, at the city of the Alexandrians; and I have deducted from the order for the cloaks three cloaks, leaving sixty-six cloaks on the order, because I had need of expenses for the completion of the quittance (amerimnia) for the cloaks (pallia), you being unconnected with this matter because I have had my orders; and I deducted the aforesaid three cloaks for the aforesaid completion of the cloaks. And I have issued this document to you as security, and on being asked I agreed. I, Aurelius Mikkalos, the aforementioned, have made this security for you as stated above. […]

Entagia were orders or certificates relating to delivery of the military clothing levy (vestis militaris); amerimnia is a quittance releasing the overseer from further liability.
