[1] [… lines lost …] [2] [… lines lost …] [minf] […] wage (?) of the sales of the […] 9th (?) year of the […] and the expenditure of what was given to the official (officialis) on account of the petition.

An officialis was a member of a governor's or magistrate's office staff; the payment 'on account of the petition' was probably a fee or gratuity for handling it. The year number is read as 9 but is uncertain.
