Four fragments of varying size from a papyrus of good quality, further fragments of which are in Cairo (P.Gr. inv.no. 10349) and Heidelberg (P.Gr. inv.no. 1285). The fragments bear writing on one side along the fibres, the back being blank, but the Cairo fragment has four lines in a different hand on the back. The original text on the front consisted of one broad column of 33 lines. The BL fragments preserve the upper margin (25 mm), the lower (90 mm), and the right (10 mm), where a sheet-join is visible at c. 5-10 mm from the right edge. They are mounted on cardboard in a glass case.
