In English machine translation

[c] † The holy church of God of Hermopolis, through me, Kollouthos, steward. Pkylios son of Penlalin (?) has paid, for the rents of the crops of the twelfth indiction, 7 1/2 carats of gold, total 7 1/2 carats. Written Choiak […], indiction 10 (?).

The rent is for the twelfth indiction but the date line appears to read indiction 10, perhaps an advance payment or a misreading. The carat (keration) was a fraction of the gold solidus (1/24).

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below. It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
