In English machine translation
† Paid in the name of Taurinos son of Hermapollon, through Menas, on account of the public annonae of the thirteenth indiction, one keration, total 1 keration of gold only. † Christodoros, with God, assistant of the accounting office, through me, Victor, logographos; it is agreed.
The annona was a tax originally in kind, here commuted into a payment in gold; a keration was a small fraction (1/24) of a gold solidus. The place is inferred from the publication series.
