Two papyrus fragments that do not belong together, housed in the same glass frame.
Upper papyrus (A): Medium-brown papyrus fragment, broken off at the bottom, right and left; bearing writing on one side, the back is blank. On the front, there remain portions of 5 lines running along the fibres; the upper margin is extant.
Lower papyrus (B): Top left corner of a light-to-medium-brown papyrus sheet; with writing on both sides. On the front, there survive the beginnings of 2 lines running across the fibres, with setoffs in the upper margin; on the back, there are two lines written along the fibres the other way up in relation to the text on the front, and, after some blank space, the beginning of a word.
