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.

In English machine translation

[…] […] of the fourteenth indiction […] the guarding […] so that no blame […] to me within the period […] […] and […] […] fulfil(ling) […] […]

The word paraphylake means guarding or watch duty. The contract type is identified from the surviving formulas only.
