2 pieces; one panel of a wooden diptych of rectangular shape; part of the panel has separated from the larger piece. The preserved portion is from the first wax tablet of a diptych covered on one side by a thin coating of black wax; the beginning of the document appears on the inside wax. However, the names of the witnesses and the duplicate copy come on the outside wood of this tablet, rather than on the outside of the second tablet. The names of the witnesses are arranged, as usual, with the names at the top. The part of the tablet not covered on the inside with wax is split off from the left-hand edge, but without loss of text from the copy on wax. On the outside wood, one name of a witness is gone and three or four letters from the beginning of each line of the outside copy of the document.
