In English machine translation

My relative D[…], paying the taxes (?) […] in the aforementioned village, died in the present month of Mesore. Therefore I request that he be entered [in the list of the dead …] […]

The scribe crossed out the first address (to Mouchis) and rewrote it for Boukolou also called Tristomou. The same sheet also carries a separate draft of a land lease, which is not part of this text.
