In English machine translation

6 Pharmouthi: from the previous account, 9 solidi 1 keration; 16 solidi by hand [...] [... 8 lines lost ...] 11 Pharmouthi: by hand, 17 solidi 5 keratia keratia: one and a half solidi ... 22 8/8 (?), twenty-two eighths (?) † I have received through me (?), Andreas, on the account of Iousoas, two hundred and seventy-nine solidi. Pauni 6.

The solidus (nomisma) was the standard late Roman gold coin, and the keration was a fraction of it (1/24). The figures in the penultimate line are uncertain and partly illegible.
