English Translation

Apollonios and Nikandros,
treasurers of the crocodile (temple?),
to Dionysios, greetings. Pay back
the value of what you hold
from the joint purchase of the crocodile's funds:
one hundred artabas of wheat (totaling wheat),
for which you will receive from him the receipt
of exemption for one hundred artabas.

Notes

The text appears to be a financial document or receipt involving temple officials ("treasurers of the crocodile," possibly referring to a temple dedicated to Sobek, the crocodile deity) instructing Dionysios to return or pay the value of wheat previously acquired. The "σύμβολον τῆς ἀποχῆς" ("receipt of exemption") indicates a formal acknowledgment or receipt confirming exemption from further claims or obligations regarding the specified amount.
