In English machine translation

Year 4, Mecheir 27, at Pathyris, before Heliodoros, agoranomos. They drew up (this contract) of their own free will. Totoes son of Pelaias acknowledges that he owes Panobchounis son of Totoes 8 talents of bronze and 13 1/2 artabas of wheat, without interest. Let Totoes repay this debt to Panobchounis in the month of Mesore of year 5. If he does not repay within the fixed time, let him pay forthwith one and a half times the amount, and for the time beyond the term interest at 2 drachmas per mina each month, and for the wheat the market price. Let Panobchounis have the right of execution against Totoes and against all his property, as if by a court judgment. I, Areios, deputy of Heliodoros, have registered it.

The agoranomos was a public notary who registered contracts; the penalty of 'one and a half times' (hemiolion) was a standard clause for late repayment. The debtor in the execution clause is written 'Totoes' in the genitive form of the creditor's patronymic, apparently referring to the debtor Totoes.
