In English machine translation

From Euphemios. I have received through the most admirable Victor, assistant […], on behalf of (the account of) Ammonios, former tribune, 56 carats of gold only, for the 6th indiction and the 7th indiction, total 56 carats only, and I have no claim against you, as aforesaid. I, Flavius Euphemios, the aforesaid: the receipt is satisfactory to me as aforesaid. Epeiph 9, 7th indiction.

The carat (keration) was a fraction of the gold solidus, 24 to the solidus. "Former tribune" renders apo tribounon, an honorary title of rank.
