In English machine translation

Account of Aninas, 11th indiction, through D[…] You have from the register (?) […] You have for freight charges […] […]iridina […] makarika (?) of sackcloth (?) […] for freight charges of the factor (?) […] and camel-transport charges and expense [of the river] […] expense of the river and of the canal […] of the one solidus, carats 1/2 1/8, makes carats 5 1/4 […] for the Jewish (?) […] [… 3 lines lost …]

The carat (keration) was a fraction of the gold solidus, normally 1/24. Several words (brebion, makarika, phaktonarios) are rare or obscure and their translations are tentative.
