In English machine translation
I have received through Viktor (son of?) Pachoumis, on behalf of Makarios, pronoetes, chaff: 5 capita. I, Apollon, epimeletes, have signed.
Through me, […]nios.
Capita (kapita) are units of fodder or ration allowance, here of chaff, probably for military or official animals. The pronoetes is a manager or agent and the epimeletes a supervising official; the closing name is only partly legible.
