Translation into English

Of Phoibammon, son of Senouthios, of the grain-measure from the city of Hermes, to the most wonderful Taurinus, son of Kyros, from the city of Hermes, greetings. I have received from you thirty clean gold drachmas from the honor of the grain. Six drachmas of gold are made, and I am ready to provide you with a receipt for these with the signature of the public sailor. If I request to give a supplement not to provide you with the receipt for the thirty drachmas of grain along with freight and hundredths and twentieths and all kinds of expenses, I am ready to provide the price of the same thirty drachmas of grain according to the same price being practiced in the market of Alexandria. Aurelius Phoibammon, son of Zounithios, of the grain-measure.

English Translation

From Phoibammon, son of Zenouthios, grain-measurer from Hermopolis,
to the most admirable Taurinos,
son of Kyros from Hermopolis, greetings.
I have received from you, from the price of the thirty artabas of grain, six carats of pure gold, total 6 gold carats.
And I am [ready] to provide you with a receipt for these, signed by the public sailor.
But if [I seek] to pay a surcharge instead of providing you with the receipt for the thirty artabas of grain,
including freight charges, one-percent taxes, five-percent taxes, and all sorts of expenses,
I am ready to pay the price of these same thirty artabas of grain according to the current market price in the marketplace of Alexandria.
