Translation into English

"To the presbyter of Sebastos, the rank of the general
[from Babbathas Simon]
Maozis.
He has given
the name of him according to Simon
Joseph, his brother, from his own
from the existing
things
to the orphan's name
to his brother in the allowance of silver
and through the portion of the orphan
half from the
mothers
to give me the
allowance of the
commercial
debts to be corrected and this silver
having sufficient value, never has he given sustenance to Jesus, and the
four months and more appointed
by the council of the Petraians Abdoabdas Ellutha and John
they themselves have not given sustenance to the orphan unless only
two denarii
(per month), and because it is not sufficient for
sustenance according to
the existing
things."
