In English machine translation
Through the elders of the village of Philadelphia, for monodesmia [...] year 7, Pachon 7. Horos son of Abaskantos [...] of Apynchis (?) [...] has paid 20 drachmas, total 20 drachmas.
Monodesmia was a tax or charge apparently tied to bundles (of hay or reeds) and has no exact English equivalent. Several words in lines 2 to 4 are illegible.
