In English machine translation

[recto] […] 40 drachmas, surcharge of 1 percent 2 drachmas 3 obols, total 42 (drachmas) 3 obols […] 10 (drachmas) 3 obols, surcharge of 1 percent 1 drachma, total 11 (drachmas) 3 obols […] [for the tax on] foreigners (?) 50 and for extra charges (?) 220 drachmas 4 1/2 obols 2 chalkoi […] … 6 drachmas 1 obol 2 chalkoi […] of the trade tax … 612 drachmas, surcharge of 1 percent 38, total 650 drachmas [1 obol] 650 drachmas 1 obol […] 30 drachmas 4 1/2 obols, surcharge of 1 percent 1 obol 3 chalkoi, total 30 drachmas 3 chalkoi [verso] Thoth, of the 2 percent tax (?), 24 drachmas 4 obols 2, surcharge of 1 percent 1 drachma 2 1/2 obols 2 chalkoi … 1 1/2 obols 2 chalkoi, … 1 1/2 obols 4 chalkoi, surcharge of 1 percent 1 chalkous, total 1/2 obol 2 chalkoi … 32 drachmas 2 obols 2 chalkoi 5 1/2 obols 2 chalkoi […] surcharge of 1 percent 2 chalkoi, total 5 1/2 obols 2 chalkoi

The 'hekatoste' here is a one percent surcharge added to the tax payments; 'pentekoste' normally denotes a 2 percent tax. Several of the arithmetic totals do not match the listed figures exactly, and the readings of some tax names are uncertain.

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