In English machine translation

Pharmouthi 18. Of the watch (vigiliae): Psenartemis 1 Dioskoros 4 Mouttis 2 Alexandros son of Tithoes 2 Psansnos 3 Demetris 3 Valens 4 Apolinaris 1 At the gate: Psenpnoutis

The word for watch is the Latin vigilia (vigiles) rendered in Greek; the numerals after the names most likely indicate which of the four night watches each man kept.
