Fragment of a papyrus sheet, broken off at the top (front) and lacking most of the left half; with few holes and minor damage along the folds in the preserved portion. Writing runs along the fibres on the front and across them on the back; the back was rotated 180 degrees, and has 3 lines written at the top, which are the continuation of the front; the beginning of line 2 was cancelled. The front bears 16 lines, 11 of which lack the beginnings; the last 3 lines were apparently erased. The papyrus is housed in a glass case.
