Translation into English

In the name of the Lord and Master Jesus Christ our God and Savior and of our Lady the Holy Theotokos and of all the saints, in the year of Diocletian, of Phaiophis, the third indiction. Aurelius, son of Phoibammon and Mena, from the amphora of Neilammon, greetings. We confess upon Agathos the most illustrious, from the same city. If anyone among us does not wish to be subject to his judgment, let him be held accountable for the part that does not love, giving to the loving part a word of precious gold coin, the lord of the compromise, and having been questioned, we confessed. Phoibammon's lines are as it is written. Our lines are as it is written.
