In English machine translation
Epeiph 2.
A…doros son of Pankratios, of the village of Karanis, has delivered for the third indiction 60 litras of chaff, total 60 litras, only.
I, Ision, have signed.
The payer's name is partly illegible (perhaps Isidoros or a similar name ending in -doros). Chaff was collected as a tax in kind, used for example as fuel or for military needs.
