Forty-four small papyrus fragments, housed in the same glass frame; some of these are dark-brown, while the majority of the fragments is medium-brown. Each fragment usually preserves a few words from one line, running across the fibres. Only a few fragments bear traces of two lines. Six fragments bear writing on the back too, which runs along the fibres.
