In English machine translation
[…] in which you also live, belonging to the most magnificent […]
[…] of gold, 8 carats, eight.
[…] of the month Hathyr 20, twentieth. Farewell.
"Most magnificent" (megaloprepestatos) is an honorific title for high-ranking officials or landowners in late antiquity. The carat (keration) was a fraction of the gold solidus, so the rent is expressed in gold.
