In English machine translation
Also (year) 4, Phamenoth 6. Ptolemaios son of Chairemon paid on behalf of Karanis for b( ) 8 drachmas, and for exchange of a registration (?) 12 drachmas.
The meaning of the abbreviation β( ) and of antikatallage chrematismou (an exchange or replacement of an official document or registration) is uncertain; one catalogue interprets it as a warranty charge on transfer of property. The opening 'also' suggests this entry follows an earlier receipt.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Receipt. 7. β( ) and ἀντικαταλλαγῆς χρηματισμός). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
