In English machine translation

[recto] [...] [...] [...] [...] ... [...] [...] the property, as much as through the completed [agreement] [...] [...] to Erastos Magnus three (?) [...] [...] to the treasury (fiscus), if he wishes [...] [...] of the procurator (epitropos), if here [...] [...] having declared (?) [...] concerning [...] [...] to declare [...] [...] [...] [verso] [...] and [...] and to the Aphrodisios (?) [...] of the aforementioned [...] of those holding possession [...] the crops [...] [...] [...]

The museum description dates the piece more broadly to the 2nd or 3rd century AD and suggests it may come from a magistrate's record of proceedings (hypomnematismoi) or from a petition referring to his decision (apophasis). 'Aphrodeisio-' could be a personal name or a place or temple.
