In English machine translation
Granary of the horiodeiktia (?) of Karanis, produce of the 15th, 14th and 7th years.
The dekaprotoi Horion and Philotas.
Priskos son of Eudaimon, five sacks, total 5 sacks. Year 16, 15, 8, Phamenoth 13: eight, total 8 sacks. And from the 13th to the 21st, thirteen sacks, total 13.
Year 16, 15, 8, Phamenoth 21.
The triple regnal years (16, 15, 8) belong to the joint reigns of Diocletian, Maximian and the Caesars; the catalogue's 'March 9' does not match Phamenoth 21 (17 March), possibly reflecting the Phamenoth 13 entry. The expansion 'horiodeiktia' of the abbreviation ὁ( ) is uncertain; the dekaprotoi were officials responsible for tax grain.
