In English machine translation

Ktesidemos and Sarapion, lessees of the estate of Iulia Polla(?), through Apollonios, secretary, to the sitologoi of Sinkepha, greetings. Transfer from the deposit of ours that you hold with you, of wheat of the produce of the 11th year of Trajan Hadrian Caesar the Lord, to Petseiris son of Horos from Petne, on account of […] of wheat, two and one quarter artabas, total 2 1/4 artabas of wheat. Year eleven of Imperator Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus, month of Kaisareios 4, Sebaste day.

The estate owner's name is abbreviated in the text (Ioul. Polle), probably Iulia Polla. Kaisareios is the Roman name for the Egyptian month Mesore, and a Sebaste day was a day honouring the emperor.
