In English machine translation

[Domitius Ph]annianus [and Germanus], collectors of money taxes of Elephantine. [Paid by] […]noumis son of Sansnos […] 4 drachmas for the merismoi […] [year …] of Antoninus Caesar [the lord], Phamenoth 7.

Merismoi were supplementary levies apportioned among taxpayers; there is no exact English equivalent. The regnal year number is lost, and the collectors' names are partly restored.
