In English machine translation

[… lines lost …] [sou]th 46 palms, north 57 palms, [ea]st 42 1/2 (?) palms, west 29 palms makes 7 arouras and 25 1/2 1/48 ammata south 41 palms, north 49 palms, east 72 palms, west 69 palms makes 12 arouras and 25 1/8 ammata south 82 1/2 (?) palms, north 100 palms, east 30 palms, west 40 palms makes 12 arouras and 33 1/12 1/48 ammata south 27 palms, north 43 1/2 (?) palms, east 4 palms, west 32 palms makes 2 arouras and 30 1/2 1/8 ammata makes in total 34 arouras and 47 1/2 1/24 ammata

The 'baia' (literally palm branches) are a unit of length used in surveying; the aroura and amma are units of land area. The computed areas do not follow simply from the given sides, so the units' relationship is uncertain.
