In English machine translation

From 12 drachmas … 26th To Heras … 1 drachma … To Diodoros 1 drachma … For the bath 4 obols To Eudromos 4 obols To Pathermotis 4 obols To Soterichos 4 obols For pasperma (mixed seeds) 4 obols For the watering-woman (?) 2 obols ⟦27th, for provisions 8 drachmas⟧ To the slaves 1 chalkous 27th, for provisions 8 drachmas For eggs 4 drachmas For morsels of bread 2 obols For a little cake 4 obols For chickpeas 4 obols For the watering-woman (?) 1 chalkous For ink 1 obol For chickpeas 2 obols For the bath (?) […] 4 obols To the slaves 1 chalkous 28th … 1 chalkous

Pasperma is a mixture of seeds; potistra may mean a watering trough or a woman who waters, so the sense is uncertain. The deleted line for the 27th was rewritten after an added entry.
