One fragment of a parchment codex, writing on both sides, mounted in glass.

Mid-brown papyrus roll; written on the recto: one column, 21 lines; margins: upper (27 mm), left (c. 20 mm), right (very narrow); broken on the lower side. There is a sheet-join at 5 mm from the right edge. Verso blank. Mounted on cardboard in a glass frame.

Papyrus sheet, darker by patches, complete but torn along the edges and with few holes and minor surface damage throughout. Writing runs along the fibres on one side, the back being blank. There are 20 lines, well preserved; some of these are indented. Upper and left margins are extant; parts of lower and right margins survive. The papyrus is mounted on cardboard in a glass case.

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. Mounted in two frames named Papyrus 1196(1), and Papyrus 1196(2). The first frame contains two large pieces, the second the remaining 11 fragments, smaller in size, and mounted on cardboard.

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. On the basis of the content, this col. III is, however, not a direct continuation of cols. I and II. Its top and bottom margins are 8 mm and 67 mm respectively. 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.

Fragments of a papyrus roll, additional portions of which have been published as PSI XII 1292; with writing on both sides. On the front, the text is arranged in eight columns of c. 27 lines each, except for col. III having 28 lines of variable width, since lines are aligned just at their beginning (left side) but not at the end (right side). This makes it impossible to reconstruct exactly the intercolumnar space, perhaps of c. 6–7 cm. On the whole, the unwritten margins of the roll have an average measure of c. 4 cm, whereas the overall height of each sheet of the roll is c. 26 cm. All columns except for col. VII are partially preserved. The papyrus was reused on the back.

There survive twelve broad columns with 23-27 lines to the column, numbered at the top, written across the fibres, the other way up in relation to the text on the front.

Housed in six glass frames.
