In English machine translation

† Flavius Kyrikos, with God, magister, to the most admirable Phoibammon, boethos of the village of Thallou: You have paid from the public account of the same village for the fourteenth indiction, through Horos, in the month of Mecheir, 144 gold solidi only, and likewise in the same month 35 gold solidi 20 carats, of full weight by the balance; total 179 gold solidi 20 carats, of full weight by the balance, only. Written Phamenoth 5, indiction 14. † Flavius Kyrikos, with God, magister: it is satisfactory to me, 179 gold solidi 20 carats, of full weight by the balance.

A boethos was an assistant official handling village tax collection; the magister was a higher fiscal officer. The first amount (144 solidi) is partly restored, but it is confirmed by the total of 179.
