In English machine translation

[… 10 lines lost …] […] and on the dyke on the south […] and on the dyke on the north […] the aforementioned, which were also undertaken (?) by the people of the same village on behalf of village property and poll-tax (?) […] which were also completed as follows: from 1 to 5, 42 naubia from 16 to 20, 42 naubia from 6 to 10, 42 naubia from 21 to 25, 41 naubia from 11 to 15, 42 naubia from 26 to 30, 41 naubia. In the aforementioned consulship, Phamenoth 30. I, Aurelius Silvanus, have submitted this. I, Aurelius Hermeias, wrote on his behalf, as he does not know letters. I, Aurelius Hatres, have submitted this jointly. I, Aurelius Horos, have submitted this jointly.

A naubion was a unit of earth volume used to measure dyke and canal work. The reading 'kephale' (head, possibly poll-tax or capital) is uncertain because the line is broken.
