English translation (best-effort, with uncertainties)

“To Dionysios: issue instructions … from the (assessment/levy) and the Choiak assessment, (and) the Hathyr assessment … from the places … and … in …, in Peensa … of beer-sellers and of nitre, and if there is anything else in the village, (in) the villages. Year …, Hathyr …”

Notes on the text

• The text appears to be a documentary/papyrological Greek note with many line-breaks and some uncertain readings; several words are fragmentary or unclear as given.
• Χοιὰχ (Choiak) and Ἁθὺρ (Hathyr) are Egyptian month names commonly appearing in Greek papyri.
• ἀναφορά often refers to an “assessment/levy/return” in administrative contexts; the translation above reflects that likely sense.
• ζυτοπωλίων is plausibly “beer-sellers / beer-shops” (from ζῦθος “beer” + πωλέω “sell”), though the lineation makes the reading slightly uncertain.
• The ending ἔτους … Ἁθὺρ … looks like a date formula (“Year …, Hathyr … (day)”), but the numerals/day are not clearly recoverable from the provided text.
