In English machine translation

† The heirs of Eiremios from Hermopolis to Phoibammon […] I have received and been paid in full by you for the rents in produce of the sixth indiction […] 8 artabas of wheat by the measure of Hermopolis, total 8 artabas of wheat only. I, Sarapion son of Kollouthos, from Hermopolis: the receipt is satisfactory to me as stated above. † I, Amaleet son of Kollouthos: the present receipt of full payment of the 8 artabas of unclean wheat by the measure of Hermopolis is satisfactory to me as stated above.

The wheat is described as 'unclean' (rhyparos), meaning not cleaned of chaff and dirt, a common qualification in rent payments. The opening uses a grammatically irregular form for 'the heirs'.
