In English machine translation

Aurelia Theodosia, daughter of Apion, to the heirs of Timotheos, greetings. I have been paid by you in full the rent of the seven arouras, of those which your father farmed, both the wheat rent and the arakos rent, and I have no claim against you {in full} for the 12th indiction. Thoth 15. The receipt is valid, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent. I, Aurelia Theodosia, daughter of Apion, issued the receipt and it is my own handwriting.

Arakos is a leguminous fodder crop (a kind of vetch or chickling pea) with no exact English equivalent. The subscription states the receipt is in Theodosia's own hand, unusual for a woman landowner in this period.
