In English machine translation

Horos and Asklas, collectors of money taxes of the Agora (?) 2 quarter. Krouris son of Maieuris: we have received for geometria for the 20th year, 12 drachmas. Year 3 of Antoninus the lord, Epeiph 9.

Geometria was a tax on land, especially orchards and vineyards, assessed by survey. The tax year cited (20th, presumably of Hadrian) precedes the date of payment in year 3 of Antoninus Pius; 'Agorai 2' is read as a district designation and the expansion is uncertain.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Receipt for Geometria). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
