In English machine translation

[recto] † To the most pious abba Ioannes, deacon, Theodoros, with God, diastoleus. I have received on account of the public taxes of the seventh indiction, out of 1 1/2 keratia, of gold one half and one quarter keration, total 3/4 keration, on behalf of the heirs of Anoubion from Temseu Skordon. I, Theodoros, with God, diastoleus, agree. † [verso] Receipt of Theodoros, diastoleus. †

A diastoleus was a late antique fiscal official responsible for apportioning and collecting taxes. The keration was a small fraction (1/24) of the gold solidus.
