In English machine translation
Granary of Karanis, produce of year 15, year 3, year 1, in the name of Didymos son of Ptolemaios, barley, one donkey(-load),
total 1 donkey(-load).
The triple year date (15, 3, 1) reflects the concurrent regnal years of several co-emperors in the Tetrarchic period. The museum description gives the name as Didyme, but the Greek reads Didymos (genitive Didymou).
