In English machine translation
Paulus, cornicularius, to Lysis (?) […]: [give to Hare]mephis and son 30 xestai of wine, total 30 xestai of wine.
[I, Paulus, have signed.]
A cornicularius was a senior clerk on a Roman officer's staff. The xestes was a liquid measure of roughly half a litre; the verb 'give' is implied by the order formula rather than preserved.
