In English machine translation

To my lord brother Isokrates, Dionysos, greetings. Provide to Plenis and Makarios 3 matia of barley, landowner's measure. I, Ariston, have signed.

The mation is a small dry measure; 'geouchika' indicates the measure used on the landowner's estate. The name Plenis is written in the nominative where the dative would be expected.
