In English machine translation

Year 7, [Tybi 30], there has been paid [to the bank at] Latopolis, over which Kallias presides, to the sovereigns, for the sales tax (enkyklion) of year 7, [according to] the authorization of Eratos the tax farmer, under which Dionysios the controller (antigrapheus) subscribes: Apollonios son of Ammonios, for a vineyard at Psantanchnoubis in the Arabian side of the Latopolite nome, and a 1/4 share of a well of baked brick. Boundaries of the vineyard: to the south, the vineyard of Totoes son of Amenotes, which his sons hold; to the north, the vineyard of Piounsis son of Panemgeus; to the east, another; to the west, the river. This Chereiebos(?) son of […]otes mortgaged to him according to a contract written in year 7, Tybi […], [for] 1 talent [of copper] […] tax […] [Year 7, T]ybi […] the […] Kallias, banker.

The enkyklion was a tax on transfers of property, here apparently paid on a mortgage transaction. The day in the first line and the amounts are partly restored.
