In English machine translation

Panechotes, scribe of the farmers, to Asklepiades, greetings. […] on behalf of Ptolemaios son of […]ochos, wheat by the tenth-measure, fifteen, total wheat by the tenth-measure 15. Year 7, Pauni 15.

"By the tenth-measure" renders an abbreviated term (dekatos) apparently referring to a measuring standard for wheat; its exact meaning is uncertain. The document is identified only tentatively as an order, and its provenance is uncertain.
