In English machine translation

Antoninus, centurion, to the station-guards of the road of Claudianus, greetings. [Let pass] 4 men [and 20 donkeys] (?). Hathyr […].

The verb 'let pass' and the number of donkeys are editorial restorations based on parallel passes from the site. The stationarii were soldiers manning the guard posts along the desert road.
