In English machine translation

† † Flavius Kyrikos, with God, magister, to the most admirable Basileides, assistant of the village of Sinape: I have received (?) from the public account of the same village for the second indiction 13 gold solidi and 21 carats, full weight, by the private standard; total 13 gold solidi, 21 carats, full weight, by the private standard, only. Written Tybi 25, second indiction. † † Flavius Kyrikos, with God, magister, has 13 solidi and 21 carats, full weight.

The text literally reads 'I have given' (dedoka), though the closing subscription 'has' and the context suggest a receipt; the private standard (zygos idiotikos) was a weighing standard for gold distinct from the public one.
