In English machine translation
Thoteus to Alem(…), acting on behalf of his father:
I have received from you 7 drachmas.
Choiak 3.
The name Alem is abbreviated or incomplete in the text. One catalogue description takes the son to be the issuer, though the Greek reads more naturally as the payer acting for his father.
