In English machine translation

[… ? lines lost …] to Paniskos […] four keramia (?), total 4 keramia [of wine], for the rent of the 14th indiction. I pray for your health for many years.

The word χρητεις is a garbled or unusual term, apparently a wine-jar measure (perhaps for keramia); its exact reading is uncertain. Phoros here means rent paid in kind.
