Lower part of a papyrus sheet, lacking the beginning and damaged at the top. Writing runs along the fibres on one side, the back bearing no text. The foot of a column is preserved, with the first lines preserved being mutilated. The surface is abraded in places. Left, bottom and right margins are preserved, with the right being minimal. The blank space at the bottom measures 78-92 mm. A sheet-join running across the fibres along the height of the sheet is visible at the right. A few wormholes damaged the preserved portion without affecting the text. The papyrus is mounted on cardboard in a glass case.
