In English machine translation
Hathyr 2. Kanaout son of Ouenaphrios delivered, for the 13th indiction, from the village of Keranis (Karanis), 120 litras of chaff,
litras 120, only.
The text dates itself to Hathyr 2, which falls in late October or early November, while the catalogue gives 29 July 339 (?), so the records do not match. The catalogue also places the delivery at an unknown harbor in the Herakleopolite or Memphite nome; 'Keranis' is a spelling of Karanis.
