A small fragment of a labour contract in which someone apparently undertakes guard duty for a set period, promising to give no cause for complaint. It dates to the 6th or 7th century AD and mentions a fourteenth indiction year.
The word paraphylake means guarding or watch duty. The contract type is identified from the surviving formulas only.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Fragment eines Arbeitsvertrages). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
