In English machine translation

[…] […] 40 arouras at 3,843 drachmas […] […] and for 40 arouras […] […] 2,000 drachmas […] […] 200 of the […] […] 600 drachmas […] […] […] 40 (?) […] […] 8 talents 1,888 drachmas 5 obols […] […] 9 […] […] 9 to 20, 18 (?), payment (?) […] […]

The abbreviation diagraph- probably refers to a bank payment or a payment schedule. The figures are read from Greek numeral letters, so some of them are uncertain.

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