In English machine translation
To my lord brother Paniskos,
Chrestos, greetings. Give to Zacharias and Abraham 47 xestai of wine, total 47 xestai. I, the same, have signed. 7th indiction.
The xestes is a liquid measure of roughly half a litre. The indiction is a 15-year fiscal cycle, so year 7 cannot be fixed to a single calendar year.
