In English machine translation

[… lines lost …] […] son of Akousilaos, his mother being D[…] […] in year […] from the inspection of year 8, taken up (?) from […] […] ending in year 1, likewise […] […] of year 8, of productive palm grove, 1/2 aroura […] […] of the (land of?)

The phrase 'from inspection' (ex episkepseos) refers to official surveys of land condition used to assess taxes. The reading 'taken up' (aneilemm-) is an abbreviated, uncertain term, perhaps for land reclassified after survey.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below. It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
