A short order from Nemesianus to Severus instructing him to pay over to Sarapiades, manager of the estate, the proceeds of wine he had sold from the year 5 vintage: 25 jars at 16 drachmas each and 6 double jars at 24 drachmas each. It was written at Oxyrhynchus in AD 260.

In English machine translation

Nemesianus to Severus, greetings. For the 25 keramia and 6 double keramia sold by you from the produce of year 5 of the western (?) estate, vat 4, transfer the price to Sarapiades, manager of the estate: for the 25 keramia at 16 drachmas each, and for the double keramia at 24 drachmas each. Farewell, and transfer the price as stated above. Year 7, Pachon 30.

The keramion was a standard wine jar, and the diplokeramon a double-sized jar. 'Libikon' (literally 'Libyan', i.e. western) appears to be the name or description of the vineyard property.
