In English machine translation

Year […]. Stotoetis, priest, has paid to Julius Longinus and the other contractors of the tax on cutting (?) and of the trade tax on behalf of the trade tax […] of Soknopaiou Nesos on account of the rent for year 2, one hundred drachmas, 100 drachmas.

The cheironaxion was a tax on trades and crafts, here farmed out to contractors (misthotai). The abbreviation kop(es), probably a tax connected with cutting, is of uncertain meaning.
