Translation into English

From the city of Arsinoin, from the intersection of Cleopatra,
to Aurelius Georgius,
son of Kyriakos, wine merchant from the same city, greetings.
I confess that I have received from you
through your hand for my own need one gold coin,
as it is minted, it becomes
a gold coin, as it is minted, of capital,
which is with me for the honor of pure barley.
