In English machine translation

To Apollonios, dekaprotos of the Middle toparchy, 100 artabas of wheat. To Andromachos, the other dekaprotos of the same toparchy, 318 1/2 artabas, 2 choinikes. To Alexandros, former dekaprotos of the same toparchy, 61 artabas. Total: 479 1/2 artabas of wheat, 2 choinikes.

The dekaprotoi were liturgical officials responsible for collecting grain taxes in a toparchy; the office existed roughly between the mid-3rd century and about AD 302, which gives the date range.
