Notes on the Translation

The text is fragmentary and incomplete. The term "παχτωνοποιὸς" (corrected to "πακτωνοποιὸς") refers to someone involved in tax-farming or leaseholding. The phrase "Πέρσης τῆς ἐπιγονῆς" indicates Persian descent. The document appears to be a formal acknowledgment of receipt or a financial transaction involving bankers ("τραπεζιτῶν").
