In English machine translation

[recto] Phaophi 30: 4 camels, 600 myriads Hathyr 1 and 2: 4 camels, 600 myriads 3: 2 camels, 300 myriads 4: 2 camels, 300 myriads 5: 2 camels, 300 myriads 6: 2 camels, 300 myriads 7: 2 camels, 300 myriads [8: camels] 2, 300 myriads [9: camels] 2, 300 myriads [verso] Hathyr 10: to Kottos the weaver, of lentils 6 artabas 11: … of lentils … 12: … of wheat 6 artabas 13: … of lentils 6 artabas 14: … of lentils 1 artaba

The "myriads" are units of 10,000 denarii, reflecting the heavy inflation of late antique Egyptian money of account. The sums are probably payments for camel hire, though the text does not say so.
