In English machine translation
To Andouros, quintanensis: let pass, on behalf of Tiberius Claudius ⟦Achilleus⟧ Dorion, for Paouos son of Paouos, 10 Italian (jars); total 10 Italian (jars).
The quintanensis was an official, probably connected with a tax of one-fifth, who controlled goods passing through Berenike. The scribe deleted the name Achilleus and replaced it with Dorion; 'Italian' refers to jars of Italian wine.
