Fragment of a papyrus sheet of poor quality, broken off at the top and left and damaged at the bottom, especially along the vertical folds. The sheet lacks some horizontal fibres on the recto. Writing is on both sides: the recto has an original text, of which only the bottom right portion survives, written along the fibres; the original lower margin of the sheet, measuring 70 mm, hosts a second text, written across the fibres at the right angle to the first. The verso contains a third text, written across the fibres and complete. The side margins are minimal, the upper and lower measure 19 mm. The papyrus is housed in a glass case.
