A sworn declaration addressed to Flavius Julianus, strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome, by Aurelius Horigenes from the Thebaid, acknowledging receipt of twenty units of some commodity owed for an indiction, which he undertakes to transport to Alexandria and for which he will bring back a certificate of delivery. It is dated in AD 345 by the post-consulate of Leontius and Sallustius.

In English machine translation

[recto] In the year after the consulship of Flavius Leontius, prefect of the sacred praetorium, and Flavius Sallustius, the most illustrious. To Flavius Julianus, strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome, from Aurelius Horigenes […] of the Thebaid. I acknowledge, swearing by the divine and heavenly fortune of our eternal masters the Augusti, that I have received from those registered below […] twenty […] on account of the […] indiction, on condition that I carry them to Alexandria and bring back a letter of delivery. They are as follows: of the private canon […] of the imperial canon […] […] [verso] […]

The commodity is lost; the surviving ending '-adon' suggests a word in -ades, perhaps a type of load or animal. The 'private' and 'imperial canon' refer to categories of tax assessment in kind.
