In English machine translation

[recto] [… 6 lines lost …] 111 drachmas 3 obols Northern Agora quarter (?), in silver 60 drachmas 120, total 436 drachmas 4 obols […] 128 drachmas … Pauni (?) … … [verso] [… 2 lines lost …] 1 obol … 838 drachmas … … another 181 drachmas 5 obols … remaining drachmas […]

The abbreviation read as 'Agora north' probably refers to a city quarter named after the market, as known at Oxyrhynchus; several lines are only partly legible.
