In English machine translation

[...] [...] for sowing wheat and [...] [...] at a fixed rent of [wheat] 15 [artabas] and 60 [drachmas] of silver, which I will pay and measure out in the month of Pauni, the silver in approved, acceptable, current coin, and the wheat I will measure into the public granary at the first [measuring], one (artaba) by the receiving measure for one (artaba) by the Athenaios measure (?), and I will bring a clear receipt of measurement in your name, the public dues on the land and all the assessments being your responsibility as landowner. Year 5 of Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Severus Alexander Pius Felix Augustus, Phaophi 16.

The landowner is addressed as a woman (geouchos). The equivalence between the granary's receiving measure and the 'Athenaios' measure depends on restoration.
