In English machine translation

Pikos son of Panther(es) and partners to Thousytemmes son of Kronios, greetings. We have received from you 8 drachmas, the remaining other eight drachmas, in full payment of the whole agreement. Year 2 of Titus Caesar the lord, Hathyr 25.

The 'partners' (metochoi) were probably a group of tax-farmers or contractors acting jointly; the agreement (symphonia) may be a negotiated lump-sum payment, often for taxes. The provenance is uncertain.
