Extent:

13 fragments of varying size from a papyrus roll. The Latin document is written on the recto, along the fibres. The verso shows a Greek address written across the fibres.

Fr. A preserves two continuous columns: col. I is made up of 25 lines and col. II of 19 lines. Both show the top (27 mm) and bottom margins (65 mm in col. I and 86 mm in col. II) and are separated by a variable intercolumnium, whose measure runs from 20 to 50 mm. The interlinear space is 5 mm on average. Fr. B contains a single column of 34 lines.

The interlinear space measures 2 mm on average. The other fragments, frr. C-M, are broken off all sides and contain scanty portions of lines.
