τῆς ̣[ -ca.?- ] (*) ̣[ -ca.?- ]̣ς ἔτι οὖν καὶ ν̣ῦν [ -ca.?- ]

English Translation

"...of the [uncertain text] still therefore even now [uncertain text] already to be present [or to arrive/be available], and likewise also of the remaining land that has been sown, leaf by leaf.
Farewell. (Year) 32, Dystros 24, Phamenoth 20."

Notes

The text is fragmentary and incomplete, with several uncertain or missing sections indicated by "[ -ca.?- ]" and "[ -8-10- ]". The phrase "τὸ κατὰ φύλλον" literally means "leaf by leaf," possibly referring to a detailed or careful manner of sowing or harvesting. The closing greeting "ἔρρωσο" is a common farewell meaning "be well" or "farewell." The dates provided ("Year 32, Dystros 24, Phamenoth 20") reflect a dating system common in ancient Greek and Egyptian documents.
