Papyrus sheet reused as mummy cartonnage, with plaster and red paint residue, and darker surface at the top (front); mutilated especially to the right; written on both sides. On the front there are 14 lines running across the fibres, the last two of which are in Demotic; there is a blank between lines 5 and 6. Lower, left and upper margins survive. The back bears one line parallel to the fibres, written the other way up in relation to the text on the front. The papyrus is housed in a glass frame.

Fragments of a papyrus roll reused as mummy cartonnage; the preserved portion is damaged by holes; written on both sides, along the fibres on the front and across them on the back. The text on the front is Demotic; the two columns on the back are in Greek, but are covered with plaster. The papyrus is housed in a glass frame.

Long and narrow dark-brown papyrus sheet reused as mummy cartonnage, with plaster residue and surface damage, and torn at the top; written on one side along the fibres, the back being blank. There is one column 28 lines, the last two being in Demotic. Side margins are minimal. The papyrus is mounted on cardboard in a glass frame.

Portion of a medium-brown papyrus roll with two detached scraps, additional fragments of which are now at Columbia University, New York, inventoried as P. 5, and at the Istituto Papirologico ‘G. Vitelli’, Florence, under the inventory 3038. The writing is on both sides. On the front, there are two columns written along the fibres, broken off at the top; lower and right margins are extant; one line is written in the right margin, being the endorsement of the text on the back. Two sheet-joins are visible. The Columbia portion preserves another column which precedes those of the BL papyrus and the beginnings of lines 16-25 of the first column of the BL portion. The portion in Florence is still unpublished. On the back, there are several columns in Demotic, written against the fibres upside down in relation to the text on the front. The papyrus is housed in a glass frame.
