In English machine translation
At the granary of the village of Karanis.
Ouenaphris son of Priskos transferred to the harbour of Leukogion, of the produce of year 19, through Hapip, donkey-driver, wheat: 4 donkey-loads. Tybi 21.
The 'harbour' (hormos) was a Nile river port where state grain was collected for shipment. The regnal year 19 can be matched to two reigns, hence the alternative dates 312 or 304.
