In English machine translation
Of Ploutammon:
of wheat, by the 22-measure, 20 artabas,
to Trimithis, to my lord
son Serenos.
The phrase 'measure 22' probably refers to a measure of 22 choinikes per artaba. 'My lord son' is an affectionate form of address and need not indicate a real father-son relationship.
