Papyrus sheet made out of two separate fragments roughly joined; the join is visible at c. 67 mm from the left edge of the recto. Both sides bear writing, with the text running along the fibres on the recto and across them on the verso. The recto has remains of two columns in different hands: of the first, only the ends of the lines survive, whereas of the second the beginnings of the lines remain. The verso contains the end of one column. The papyrus is housed in a glass case.
