In English machine translation

Consuls (?): Philosarapis 3, second time; Potammon 3, 2. Gymnasiarchs: Chrysas son of Horos 3; Philosarapis son of Heron 3 4. Consul (?) Sarapammon 2, 3. Consul (?) Herakles 2, 3. Gymnasiarchs: Heron son of Arabas 2; Protas son of Nonnos, brother of Herakl(es?) 2; Dionysos, Nemesas 3; Epikletos 1 5 5

The titles 'consul' and 'gymnasiarch' are unusual for such ordinary names and may be nicknames, honorific labels or game roles rather than real offices. The meaning of the numerals is unclear.
