In English machine translation

[…] of Polydeukia, of the dioikesis, 1 1/2 arouras (?) […] Mesore 12, 7 obols; 16th, 4 obols […] Phamenoth 3, 24 obols; Pharmouthi 10, 4 obols […] 4, of Polydeukia, of the dioikesis, 1 1/2 arouras (?)

The dioikesis here denotes land administered directly by the state, worked by public farmers. The fraction sign after the aroura figures is read as 1/2 but its exact value is uncertain.
