In English machine translation

[recto] † To the lord Ioannes, weigher, Kallinikos. I have received from you, on account of the entry fee (?) of the kaeipapita (?), which was also given to Apollos, farmer, on account of what I owed him on behalf of my blessed brother, 1 solidus of gold less 7 1/2 1/4 carats, (total) 1 solidus of gold less 7 1/2 1/4 carats. Written in the month of Mesore, 14, of the 4th indiction. † [verso] Acknowledgement (?) of Ioannes, weigher, (to?) the lord Kallinikos […] Acknowledgement of Ioannes

The word read as kaeipapita is obscure, possibly a garbled place or property name. The term eisbatikon usually means an entry fee or a payment on taking possession.
