In English machine translation

Syros to his dearest Heroninos, greetings.
Give to the slave Alas, by order of the honourable (one), by order (?), 3 dichora of wine, of vinegar […] one. I pray for your health.
[verso]
To Heroninos, manager (phrontistes).
A dichoron is a jar holding two choes, a standard wine measure on the Appianus estate. The euschemon (honourable person) is a local notable or estate official whose name is not given; the word diatages ('by order') stands awkwardly in the text.
