Translation

x+1 from the 18th regnal year, [///]th Mecheir onwards
x+2 to note the freight costs of the measured emmer.
x+3 Concerning the reckoning of the measured amounts of emmer
x+4 one knows that
x+5 one will be bound to give it (scil. the emmer) for the [geese] feedings
x+6 and the duck feedings. Thus may remain for you
x+7 the rest(?) to pay their rates. [It] was sent
x+8 to Potemetous, the steward of Pharaoh,
x+9 not to give you any emmer exept 5 (artabas) emmer
x+10 daily. The amounts of emmer which were given (to) the wab priests of Isis
x+11 from Philae and (to) the wab priests of Haroeris,
x+12 together with the remaining emmer
x+13 which was awarded: It should be caused
x+14 to issue a receipt about it at the time of this morning(?). 1Translating according to Zauzich.
x+15 We will take ourselves immediately to Elephantine.
x+16 Written by Nechtminis, son of Sochotes, in the 18th regnal year,
x+17 18th of Mecheir.
