English Translation

Chairemon L[---]os and partners, grain collectors of the village of Karanis: there was measured in the granary of the aforementioned village, from the produce of the past (20th?) year, wheat by the public standard measure, one artaba of the joint purchase of Karanis (which makes one artaba of wheat), to Kastor Ouetranos.

Notes on Translation and Interpretation

The text is a fragmentary administrative record from the village of Karanis, mentioning grain measurement (specifically wheat) using a public standard measure ("ξυστῷ"). The term "ἀρτάβη" (artaba) is an ancient measure of grain. The phrase "εἰς Καστρ οὐετρανος" is likely a corrupted or abbreviated form of "εἰς Κάστορα Οὐετρανόν" ("to Kastor Ouetranos"), as indicated by the apparatus criticus.
