Translation into English

The mind and the captain shall lead to Alexandria, who shall set sail, not at night, nor in winter, but rather anchoring at the designated and safest harbors, and during the day, as long as he arrives in Alexandria and delivers the cargo that is to be loaded, safe and unblemished from maritime mischief, unless some danger or damage occurs, either from the violence of Zeus or from the robbers' attack. The navigation fee is valid. (Year) of the Emperor Caesar Nerva Trajanus Augustus, the tenth of the month.

"...and the shipmaster shall bring [it] to Alexandria. He who sails out shall not sail at night nor in winter, but shall anchor at the designated and safest harbors, sailing by day until he arrives at Alexandria and delivers the cargo placed aboard safe and unharmed, free from maritime wrongdoing, unless some danger or damage occurs either by an act of God or by an attack of pirates.
