Μέτρημα θησαυροῦ μητροπόλεως, γενήματος ε ἔτους Λουκίου Σεπτιμίου Σεουήρου Εὐσεβοῦς Περτίνακος Καίσαρος τοῦ κυρίου· τοῦ κυρίο[υ]· Παῦνι κη, ὑπὲρ Νήσων, ὀνόματος Μάρκου Κλωδίου Ἀλεξάνδρου, ὑπὲρ ἀβρόχου, πυροῦ πέντε· γίνονται πυροῦ ε. Φιλ… σεσημείωμαι.

English translation

Measurement of grain into the granary of the metropolis, from the harvest of year 5 of Lucius Septimius Severus Pius Pertinax Caesar, our lord [“our lord” appears to be repeated]. Pauni 28. For Nesoi, on the account of Marcus Clodius Alexander, in respect of land not reached by the inundation: five [artabas] of wheat; total, 5 [artabas] of wheat. Phil…: I have recorded it.

Notes

• ε and κη represent the numerals 5 and 28.
• Νήσων is probably a place-name, rendered here as “Nesoi”; literally, it means “of islands.”
• ἀβρόχου refers to land not watered by the Nile inundation.
• The unit “artabas” is supplied from the likely grain-receipt context; it is not explicitly present in the supplied text.
• Φιλ… appears to abbreviate the name of the person acknowledging the entry; its expansion is uncertain.
• No Latin text is present. The Roman names and titles are written in Greek.
