English Translation

In the 6th year, Pharmouthi 5, at Pathyris, under Ammonios, the agoranomos (market supervisor).
Petes, son of Peatius, carpenter, acknowledges to Horos, son of Nechoutes, grandson of Agatres, a Persian of the epigone (descendant), that he will indeed construct a wagon-yoke and a basket, acceptable, by Tybi 3 of the 7th year.
If he does not do as written above, let him immediately pay [amount unclear].

Notes

The text is a contractual agreement from a papyrus document, specifying a carpenter's obligation to produce certain items by a given date, with a penalty clause for non-compliance. The exact monetary penalty is unclear due to damage in the original papyrus.
