In English machine translation
Of the produce of year 5, (to) the sitologoi of Kerkesoucha, by the donkeys of Karanis: Didymos son of Ouenaphris, 3 sacks.
Year 6, Pachon 23.
Sitologoi were the officials in charge of public granaries who received grain paid as tax. The regnal year is not tied to a named emperor, so the year AD 227 or 243 is uncertain.
