In English machine translation
Mesore 9. Kanaout son of Gonaphris (?) delivered, for the villagers of Keranis (Karanis), for the tenth indiction, 120 litras of chaff,
litras 120. I, Souchidas, have signed.
The relationship between Kanaout and Gonaphris is unclear in the Greek; Gonaphris may be a patronymic or a second deliverer. Chaff (achyron) was used for fuel and brickmaking.
