In English machine translation

[… ? lines lost …] […] and to lodge (?) in […] […] with whom […] […] the penalty being imposed for the future […] […] the most perfect prefect of Augustamnica to […] himself (?) […] […] twenty, after the document has been shown […] […] will be fined (?). […] I, Aurelia […], have submitted (this). I, Aurelius Horion, wrote on her behalf, as she is illiterate.

The Greek hegemon here refers to the provincial governor (praeses) of Augustamnica, a province of eastern Lower Egypt created in the 4th century. The petitioner's own name is lost apart from Aurelia.
