In English machine translation
† Staphares son of Serenos has paid for the diagraphon of the fourth indiction 1/2 a number (solidus?), (that is) one half. Pauni 13.
I, Philotheos, agree.
The diagraphon was a poll-tax-type levy of the early Islamic period in Egypt. "Arithmios" (number) is a term for a coin of standard weight, usually the solidus, here half of one.
