Translation into English

"A measure of barley (about 30) and a measure of wheat (about 30) and half a measure of wine is five measures of the two hundred measures of the harvest. It is made into gold coins, and for a measure of barley, it is 18, and for a measure of wheat, it is 18, and for a measure of pulse, it is 5. And whatever grain, barley, and pulse is new and pure, I will give you in the month of Pauni of the indiction, which is the wine from the harvest of the month of Mesore, the fruits of the indiction, and the distribution of the harvest. I accept the good quality of the wine and the stay until the whole month of Tubi, and if it is found in the harvest, I will change these things for you and provide you with the wine in the first place, in danger of what I have in this matter. The letter is simple, written, and when asked, I agreed. Aurelius Onophrius, Rachel, who is written, I have had a full and harmonious honor with all that is inscribed as it is."

English Translation

Artabas [...] four and a half, and two hundred five-sextarii measures of wine, total four gold solidi, for eighteen artabas of barley and eighteen artabas of wheat and four artabas of vegetable seed, and five-sextarii measures of wine. I will necessarily deliver to you the aforementioned wheat, barley, and vegetable seed, new, clean, sifted by the measure of Phoibammon Moschion, in the month Pauni of the first indiction. Likewise, I will necessarily deliver the aforementioned wine, pure from the winepress, from fresh must, you providing the containers, at the vintage in the month Mesore, first indiction, second fruit-harvest, without delay. I accept responsibility for the good quality and preservation of the wine until the entire month of Tybi. If it is found sour or otherwise defective, I will exchange it and provide you an equal amount of wine of first quality, at my own risk, from my own resources set aside for this purpose. This document, written simply, is valid, and upon questioning, I have agreed. Aurelius Onophrios Rachel, the aforementioned, I have received the full price and everything written herein agrees with me as stated.
