English Translation

Diodorus, son of Ptolemaios,
to Heron, farmer, greetings.
I have received from you the rent (or tax) for the current 15th year,
during which you cultivate my plot near the village of Theadelphia,
concerning the (unclear) of seeds for the sowing of the coming 16th year.
Year 15 of Antoninus Caesar the lord, month Epeiph.

Notes

The text is fragmentary and contains abbreviations and unclear sections. The phrase "παρασο(  ) ὄντ[ων] δ̣αν(  ) σ̣περ̣μ(  )" is incomplete and difficult to reconstruct precisely. The apparatus criticus notes that "ἰσιόντος" should be read as "εἰσιόντος," meaning "coming" or "approaching."
