In English machine translation

Year 1 of Imperator Caesar [Domitian Augustus], Phaophi 30, after the account (?) 21, there has been paid […] […]eras son of Ammonios, his mother T[…], [of] Philadelphia, for the same year 1, in silver […] [Neos] Sebastos 30, after the account (?) 11, four drachmas […] four, total 4 drachmas; and Mecheir 20, drachmas […] four, total 4 drachmas; and Phamenoth […] and of the month Kaisareios 15 […] of the month Sebastos 30, after the account (?) 8, […]

The abbreviation μ(ετὰ) λ(όγον), "after the account", refers to a further numbered day in the bank's reckoning; its exact sense is debated. The tax concerned is not preserved, and the dates in the text run from Phaophi of year 1 to Sebastos (Thoth) of the following year.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
