In English machine translation

Horion to Papnouthios, assistant, greetings. Supply for the service of the officials of my lord the comes 10 pounds of meat, total 10 lb. of meat. Year 36 and 5, Tybi 20. (2nd hand?) I, Horion, have signed for 10 pounds of meat.

The date 'year 36 and 5' is the Oxyrhynchite era reckoning (regnal years counted from Constantius II and Julian), equivalent to AD 360. A comes was a high-ranking imperial official and the officiales were his administrative staff.
