Two fragments of a papyrus roll, bearing writing on both sides, along the fibres on the recto and across them on the verso. A thin strip, 55 mm long, is detached from the fragments. Remains of four columns are preserved on both sides. On the recto, only the last column is in good condition, although still fragmentary.

The verso preserves portions of four columns, two on each fragment. The second and the third are very fragmentary: only the beginnings and the ends of a few lines remain in column 2 and 3 respectively. Columns 1 and 4 are better preserved, with 35 lines in column 1 and 30 in column 4, fragmentary in places. The thin strip of papyrus has scanty traces of 4 further lines belonging to column 2.

The fragments are mounted in a glass case.
