Five papyrus fragments of varying size that do not belong together, housed in the same glass frame.
A: Medium-brown papyrus fragment, written on both sides. The front bears portions of 2 columns written along the fibres. The back contains the left-hand side of a column written across the fibres after ample blank space.
B: Medium-brown papyrus fragment, broken off on all sides, written on one side along the fibres. The front bears portions of 6 lines. The back is blank.
C: Light-to-medium-brown papyrus fragment, complete on the left and at the bottom, broken off on the other sides; with surface damage; written on one side along the fibres. The front contains the beginnings of 8 lines, the first 4 of which are in poor condition; left and lower margins survive. The back is blank.
D: Medium-brown papyrus fragment, broken off on all sides and with surface damage; written on one side across the fibres. Traces of 2 lines remain. The back is blank.
