In English machine translation

[1] [... ? lines lost ...] [...] ... [...] [...] one hundred, total 100 drachmas. And [...], in the month Epeiph [...] [...] ... and the rest [...] eighty [drachmas], total 80 drachmas. [...] Tybi [...] of the payment for [Choiak] [...] on account of receipts [...] forty drachmas, [total 40 (?) drachmas. And] [Pharmouthi] 8, of the payment for Phamenoth, the same, another eighty-eight drachmas, total 88 drachmas. ⟦And Pauni 15 the same, another ... drachmas; of the payment for Pachon 1 ... [...] one hundred drachmas, 100 drachmas.⟧ Pachon 5, of the payment for Pharmouthi, the same, another one hundred drachmas, total 100 drachmas.

The term arithmesis refers to the monthly instalment (payment period) to which each sum is credited, often a month earlier than the date of payment. The restored figure 'forty' does not match the numeral restored after it.
