In English machine translation
Kornelios, embroiderer, for the price of a house held in trust, for which the price is 2,000 drachmas; Areios, fruit-seller, for the price of a house, 500 drachmas; Demeas, [...] of a house, 4,000 drachmas. The senior (official) signed.
"In trust" (en pistei) probably refers to a property held on trust or as security. The abbreviated word after Demeas' name ("kle") is unclear and may be an occupation or a term such as heir or allotment.
