Extent:

13 fragments of varying size from a papyrus roll. The Latin document is written on the recto, along the fibres. The verso shows a Greek address written across the fibres. Mounted in two frames named Papyrus 1196(1), and Papyrus 1196(2). The first frame contains two large pieces, the second the remaining 11 fragments, smaller in size, and mounted on cardboard.

Fr. A preserves two continuous columns: col. I is made up of 25 lines and col. II of 19 lines. Both show the top (27 mm) and bottom margins (65 mm in col. I and 86 mm in col. II) and are separated by a variable intercolumnium, whose measure runs from 20 to 50 mm. The interlinear space is 5 mm on average. Fr. B contains a single column of 34 lines. On the basis of the content, this col. III is, however, not a direct continuation of cols. I and II. Its top and bottom margins are 8 mm and 67 mm respectively. The interlinear space measures 2 mm on average. The other fragments, frr. C-M, are broken off all sides and contain scanty portions of lines.
