In English machine translation

† My farmer Mouses has paid 1 solidus, indiction 4, month of Mesore 28, for public taxes […]. † Likewise 1 solidus, one, Thoth 1. I, Kosmas son of Georgios, agree. † †

The solidus (nomismation) was the standard gold coin of the period. A word after 'public taxes' is damaged and its sense is uncertain.
