Light-brown papyrus roll, made of two sheets, broken off to the sides, lacking part of the bottom and damaged by insect holes and abrasion throughout. Writing runs along the fibres on the front and across them on the back. The front bears two columns; the first has 19 lines, all lacking the beginning; the second lacks its right portion and breaks off at the bottom. Upper and lower margins survive. On the back, which was rotated 180 degrees, there are the feet of four columns, of which the first lacks the beginnings of the lines and the last column the ends of the lines. The lower margin is extant. The papyrus is housed in a glass frame.
