In English machine translation
Granary of Karanis, produce of year 15 and 3 and 1, in the name of Souchiaina, barley, one donkey(-load).
The triple regnal year (15, 3 and 1) reflects the overlapping reigns of several co-emperors of the Tetrarchic period. The receipt seems to record grain transported by donkey from the granary, though the destination is not named.
