Twelve fragments (labelled A-K, M-N) of varying size from a papyrus roll, an additional fragment of which is Papyrus 689(B). The fragments were extracted from mummy cartonnage and occasionally display plaster residue; they are written on one side along the fibres, and their back is blank. They are all broken on all sides, and most of them preserve a few letters from a few lines. Each column would have had an average of 40 lines. Mounted on cardboard in a glass frame.
