Translation:
[ . . . will pay to] the aerarium [·· ? ··] The memorial of Aelia Ammia and Aelius Pappias the children of Papias. A copy of this was deposited in the property-archive in the third stephanephorate of Ti(berius) Fl(avius) Xaireas, month Xandikos.
Commentary:
The nomenclature fits a date earlier than the Edict of Caracalla. The reference to the aerarium is unusual (12.320 =MAMA 556b, & LR cj. in 12.524 =MAMA 559
