Forty-eight numbered fragments and three further fragments named ‘New fr.’, ‘New fr. 1’ and ‘New fr. 2’ of varying size, all coming from a papyrus roll, darker in places, especially on the back. Writing is on one side along the fibres, the back being blank apart from modern numbering. Only fragments 1, 4 and 5 are of fair size: fragment 1 contains portions of 23 lines of a column and part of the upper margin, joining fragments 2, 3 and 22; fragment 4, which joins fragments 13, 24, 46 48, preserves parts of another column and of the upper and lower margins; fragment 5, which joins fragment 6 and a fragment named as 'new fragment’, has portions of two columns; of the first column, very few letters are preserved by fragment 29. The other fragments are of small size and come from different parts of columns. The surface is damaged by wormholes and abraded in places; occasionally, strips of fibres are missing. The fragments are housed in four glass cases named Papyrus 2443(1), Papyrus 2443(2), Papyrus 2443(3), and Papyrus 2443(4).
