In English machine translation

[…] […]as to Sokmenis son of Apynchis, greetings. We have received from you […] for the crop of hay of the present year 5 of Antoninus and Verus the lords Augusti, from the 3 arouras which you leased from us of the […] cleruchy near Psenarpsenesis, of the Kamelian estate, or however many they may be, for cutting and drying, 21 artabas of wheat by the 6-choinix measure. You shall […] us from all public charges and every kind of charge on the aforesaid arouras. Mystharion son of Horos and Harpalos […]: we have received the 21 artabas of wheat and we make no claim against you concerning anything, as stated above. I, Mystharion, wrote also on behalf of Harpalos, who does not know letters. Year five of Antoninus and Verus the lords Augusti, Epeiph 5.

The Kamelian estate (ousia) was an imperial estate named after a former private owner. The clause about public charges is partly lost, so the exact obligation is uncertain.
