In English machine translation

[verso] [1] […] [2] of Psoretes son of Tipisle, solidus […] Psois from Thalia, for his wife Kalasse, for Pabose[…] of Thoumaios of the upper district, through his son Pammes, for Georgios Ps[…], solidus […] Zacharias the priest, for Ptolemaios […]thes, solidus […] Poiesis […]oleg, for Horouonchios the notary, 1/3 solidus of Mousaios the shield-maker, for Muslim, 1/3 solidus and Georgios the mat-maker, for Mousaios son of Pabeine, 1/3 solidus Tzamoul (of?) Bethania, for the wage of Methlos, 1/2 solidus of Theodosios priest of the Archangel (church), 3 solidi (?) […] son of Nikolaos, for Athanasios […] […]

The numeral γ after the solidus abbreviation probably means 1/3 solidus (a tremissis), though in the Theodosios line it may mean 3 solidi. The name Mouslem reflects the early Islamic period in Egypt.
