Year [..], Athyr 18.
Alexandros, secretary of the administration of the river-guards,

in the nome, for the period up to Mesore of the 39th year,
to Onnophris, two talents and two thousand (drachmas?) of bronze,

Notes

The text is fragmentary and contains abbreviations typical of administrative papyri. The exact meaning of the numerical notation ("δύο δισχιλίας") is uncertain, but likely refers to a sum of money (two talents and two thousand drachmas or similar units). The notation "(γίνεται(?)) (τάλαντα(?)) β Β" probably indicates a total sum or confirmation of the amount.
