In English machine translation
The people of the village of Aphrodite have paid, through Charisios and Bottos […]
[…] […]sios and of the tower, for the tax assessment (kanon) […]
[…] three solidi less six carats, by the goldsmiths' standard […]
Written by me, Abraamios son of Apollos.
The kanon was the regular annual tax assessment; the reference to 'the tower' (pyrgos) is unclear in the damaged context. The goldsmiths' standard was a specific weight standard for gold coins.
