In English machine translation
χμγ (643)
[…]inetlo
[1st] 4: 6 pounds
2nd 4: 4 pounds
3rd 4: 6 1/2 pounds
4th 4: 4 1/2 pounds
5th 4: 7 pounds
Total 28
The opening χμγ is the Christian cryptogram (isopsephy 643), usually read as standing for Christ, Mary or 'Christ born of Mary'. The repeated 'δ' after each entry number is unexplained; the second line is unread, and the itemised weights actually add up to 28.
