English Translation

Papontos, son of Nekpher[otes],
to Socrates, son of Apollonios [of Philadelphia(?)]:
I acknowledge that concerning the [land allotment(?)]
in the fifth plot near Ph[iladelphia(?)],
four arourai (a measure of land) by measurement [are leased(?)]

equal [to a certain amount(?)]

[uncertain text follows]

Notes

The text is fragmentary and incomplete, with several uncertain readings indicated by question marks "(?)" and brackets "[ ]". The document appears to be a lease or rental agreement involving agricultural land near Philadelphia (an ancient city in Egypt). The terms include measurements of land ("arourai") and possibly grain ("barley," "artabas"). Due to the fragmentary nature, the exact details remain uncertain.
