English Translation

Column I

[ ⁦ -ca.?- ⁩ ] ... to turn wherever he/she may choose by good fortune, the agreed-upon silver drachmas (amount) through hand (payment). And whenever he/she may choose ...

Column II

[ ⁦ -ca.?- ⁩ ] ... not [to hinder?] the one being freed, Achilles, the drachmas of the ransom, because it has been given for these purposes. The manumission (act of freeing a slave) is valid ...

Notes

The text is fragmentary and incomplete, making a precise translation difficult. It appears to be a legal or contractual document involving payment (silver drachmas), choice or decision-making, and the manumission (freeing) of a slave named Achilles. The exact context and details remain uncertain due to the fragmentary nature of the text.
