• χρεωστεῖν (instead of χρεω̣στῖν)
• λόγου (instead of λόγω)

English Translation

To owe and be indebted to your magnificence, from the account of the remainder of the light-weight flow of the fourth indiction, eighty newly-lightened inspected knidia, total 80 knidia, as follows: I, Apa Horos, fourteen newly-lightened; and I, John, another fourteen light-weight [knidia].

Notes

The text appears to be a record or receipt concerning a debt or obligation involving goods (knidia, possibly jars or containers) measured by weight ("κούφα" meaning "light-weight"). The term "indiction" refers to a 15-year tax cycle used in the Byzantine Empire and related regions. The names Apa Horos and John indicate the individuals responsible for the goods listed.
