In English machine translation

[… lines lost …] of the […] from Dion, Pasis [for the] eparourion of the garden of Isokrates […] [for the] […] [year] 4 drachmas. (Total) 4 drachmas.

The eparourion was a Ptolemaic levy assessed on land such as gardens or orchards; it has no exact English equivalent. The word itself is largely restored.
