Fragment of a sheet of papyrus, bearing writing on both sides, along the fibres on the recto and across them on the verso. There are a few holes, mostly in the lower half of the sheet, which is somewhat damaged along the vertical fold. The text on the recto consists of the ends of thirteen lines from the top of a column, broken at the bottom and left. On the verso there is a column broken off at the bottom, of which twenty lines remain, and traces of a preceding column. Each column would have contained an average of 31 lines. Some fibres are missing and the surface is abraded in places. The papyrus is housed in a glass case.
