Recto
First: Marionga being eparch, Anouwwi with Eisou sold a fourth of the share in the Arsa water wheel. I do have the gide and the grain (?) land. And the one judging got rid of the judgment that had been prepared and 12 gold pieces to Oskosil (?). Pophphegollenga with Ane’s (people?), Siongnga being eparch, got rid via sale (?) to Amsitoro’s and Ane’s (people?) for 9 gold pieces of a camel from me, I being prepared; a camel from him, his man being prepared and the man saying so; and the camel that had been prepared. Senoutha witnessed it. Aggeshouda witnessed it. Ali got rid of it via sale (?) through Pishiria Ngal. And Pophphegollenga, releasing them, sent to Ger 1 measure of shooting wine (?) with Pollo Joulpinti (?), 2 jars (?) and 2 kousi. The eparch prepared the camel I brought, coming, with the one leading it. Darme the eparch in name, having Amsitoro’s prepared, I sit in town (with?) Daat. I released 9 drinks (?) to Tourki in hand. I gave the [unknown term] having an [unknown term].
Verso
I brought Milnkouda and Ngonni, and Anniko gave it (?). Taking from the house and selling through that Ammirikoulou the tot 1 share, wine, and grain, when Eketiwekko was beloved (?) as eparch, I sold 3 units of fire-wine. And I sold 9 lion skins (?) to Ngirron (?) for one gold piece. And indeed I take 9 anapiti, 1 pallasi-wine and 50 (loaves of) bread (from?) the administrative district (of?) Pophphegollenga’s land. And I think of (?) Ngollo in two [illegible] through Darme. When I judged... Dani, then Ojjajo gave the two (?) that were ready. Having them, after I sit in town (with?) Daattil and Dad, I gave 9. And when Ourouwi the eparch placed it as (wages for?) work, I gave, receiving, 2 gold pieces from Eirtanga the tot alone (?). I sold one jar for one gold piece alone (?). And I have the judgment for Eiongase with you. And I do not have the [illegible term] (wages for?) work. God readying (them?), I gave the lion skin (?) and the gold piece to the one’s (agent?). With Ametil coming, I was getting rid of the 12 units of wine and the [illegible term].
