In English machine translation

To Flavius Dorotheos, the most esteemed and most eloquent scholastikos, son of Theodoros of most excellent memory, Phibis, notary and tractator. You have paid the public gold tax customarily owed by your eloquence to the Kirkas (?), for the public dues of the tenth indiction, that is, 2 gold solidi, and for your security I have made this receipt entirely in my own hand. Written Thoth 8, 11th indiction.

"Tē Kirka" is obscure; it may be a place name or a fiscal account. A scholastikos was a trained lawyer or advocate, and a tractator a financial official responsible for tax collection.
