In English machine translation

[…] to Theagenes […] [sitologos of the …] toparchy, of the places of Phobou, [greetings. Trans]fer the (artabas) of mine that you hold [on deposit] of wheat of the produce of the present [7th year of Hadr]ian the lord, to Arsinoe daughter of Theon, [those] which she may choose, outside the collection-office of the places of Pakerke, 55 artabas, total 55 (fifty-five) artabas, being from the deposit of Dionysios son of Sarapion. Theon son of Achilleus to Theagenes, sitologos of the places of Sinkepha, greetings. Transfer from what you hold on deposit of wheat of the produce of the present 7th year of Hadrian Caesar the lord to Arsinoe daughter of Theon, outside the collection-office of the places of Pakerke, twenty-one artabas, total 21 artabas. I, Theon, have signed.

Such transfer orders (diastolika) moved grain between accounts held in state granaries without physical delivery; 'outside the collection-office' indicates the transfer was not credited to tax payments.
