In English machine translation

[… lines lost …] […] … […] … […] […]-onios and lychn(-) (?) […] […]-ios of Elephantine, for the month […] […] on account 28 drachmas, making 28 drachmas. Year 5 […] […]

The word beginning lychn- may refer to a tax or fee connected with lamps, but the reading is too damaged to be sure. The number 28 in words is partly restored from the figure that follows it.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Reçu). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
