In English machine translation

and Arsinoe, the Brother-Sister Gods, [in year 21, in the time of] the priest Galestes son of Philistion, (priest) of [Alex]ander [and] of the Brother-Sister Gods and of the [Benefactor Gods], the basket-bearer of Arsinoe Phi[ladelphos] being [Berenike] daughter of Sosipolis […] […]

The basket-bearer (kanephoros) was the annual eponymous priestess of the cult of Arsinoe II; such priest lists open many Ptolemaic contracts, so this was probably a contract. The name Berenike and the regnal year are editorial restorations.
