Papyrus sheet, broken off to the left, with a detached fragment, damaged by holes and abrasion in places. Writing runs across the fibres on the front and along them on the back. On the front there is one wide column of 33 lines, all lacking the beginnings, with some blank space between lines 30 and 31; the lower margin measures 85 mm. On the back there are three lines and traces of other lines in the lower half. The seals that were attached to the papyrus have not been preserved. There are modern annotations on both sides; the number in red refers to the publication in P.Oxy. III. The papyrus is housed in a glass frame.

Papyrus sheet, complete but damaged by insect holes and with minor abrasion in places; written on both sides along the fibres. The front bears one column of 29 lines, with 2 additional lines written in the left margin along the fibres, perpendicularly to the main text. On the back there is the address, with two words separated by blank space. The number in red refers to the publication in P.Oxy. III. The papyrus is housed in a glass case.

Fragments of a papyrus roll, additional portions of which have been published as PSI XII 1292; with writing on both sides. On the front, the text is arranged in eight columns of c. 27 lines each, except for col. III having 28 lines of variable width, since lines are aligned just at their beginning (left side) but not at the end (right side). This makes it impossible to reconstruct exactly the intercolumnar space, perhaps of c. 6–7 cm. On the whole, the unwritten margins of the roll have an average measure of c. 4 cm, whereas the overall height of each sheet of the roll is c. 26 cm. All columns except for col. VII are partially preserved. The papyrus was reused on the back.

There survive twelve broad columns with 23-27 lines to the column, numbered at the top, written across the fibres, the other way up in relation to the text on the front.

Housed in six glass frames.

Three papyrus fragments of similar size that do not belong together, inventoried as Papyrus 1534, Papyrus 1535 and Papyrus 1536; written on one side along the fibres, none of them having complete lines. The lower margin survives to 2 cm in Papyrus 1534, which preserves the bottom of a column; the upper margin survives to 15 mm in Papyrus 1536, which contains the top of a column; Papyrus 1535 contains the ends of lines of one column and the beginnings of lines of the following column. Numbers in red refer to the publication in P.Oxy. Mounted on cardboard in one glass case.

Dark-brown papyrus sheet, of long and narrow format, damaged by holes throughout and with some surface damage, especially at the bottom. Writing runs along the fibres on one side, tha back being blank. There is one column of 45 lines, very few of which are damaged. Margins are extant, with no margin having been left to the right. The blank at the bottom measures 110 mm. The number in red refers to the publication in P.Oxy. IV. The papyrus is mounted on cardboard in a glass case.

Two fragments of a long and narrow papyrus slip, broken off at the top, lacking portions of the right half and with some lines lost between the two fragments; small holes and surface damage affect both fragments. The upper fragment preserves 7 lines, with traces of one line at the top and one line at the bottom; in the lower fragment 27 lines remain, some of which are mutilated. The left margin is extant, no margin was left at the right and the blank at the bottom measures 145 mm. A sheet-join runs along the height of the sheet at c. 10 mm from the right edge. The number in red refers to the publication in P.Oxy. IV. The papyrus is mounted on cardboard in a glass frame.
