English Translation

Arabion [ unclear text ] of the scribes of the farmers, to Chairas son of Sochotes, greetings. We have received from you the distribution in wheat-land which you cultivated(?) around Sen[ unclear text ] for the ninth year of Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator, from the Maecenatian estate, three and one-third artabas of wheat and one artaba of chickpeas [ unclear text ] distribution [ unclear text ] into the public treasury(?).

Notes:

• "ἀπέχομεν" (line 3) corrected from original "ἀπέχωμεν".
• "τρεῖς" (line 10) corrected from original "τρῖς".
• "ἀρτάβας" and "ἀρτάβην" are measures of grain (artaba).
• "Μαικην(ατιανῆς) οὐσία(ς)" refers to the Maecenatian estate, a known imperial property.
• "εἰς τὸ δη(μόσιον)" likely means "into the public treasury."
