Two papyrus sheets that do not belong together, housed in the same glass frame.

Upper papyrus (A): Left hand portion of a papyrus sheet, complete at the top, bottom and left; with insect-holes and surface damage; written on both sides along the fibres. The front bears the left-hand side of one column, the back another column.

Lower papyrus (B): Square-shaped papyrus sheet, complete, written on one side across the fibres. The front bears 4 complete lines, the back is blank.

Papyrus sheet, darker by patches, with few small holes; written on one side along the fibres, the back being blank. There are 10 lines, complete; blank space was not filled in line 4. Margins are extant, although the right is damaged. There are two sheet-joins running across the fibres and along the height of the sheet in the left and in the right edges. The papyrus is mounted on cardboard in a glass case.

Papyrus roll with a detached scrap, incomplete to the left; overall well preserved, but slightly damaged by holes at the bottom and left, and with minor surface damage in places. Writing runs along the fibres on the front, with the exception of the lines written on the left-hand sheet of the roll, which run across the fibres; the fibre orientation of this sheet, which measures x mm, is opposite to that of the other sheets forming the roll, the fibres being vertical. This sheet bears four lines. In the rest of the roll there is one wide column of 18 lines; blank space separates lines 5 and 6 and lines 17 and 18. Additionally, space fillers further divide the first 5 lines of text from the rest. Sheet-joins are visible. The back is blank. The papyrus is mounted on cardboard in a glass case.

Papyrus sheet, cut to host the text on the back; it displays some surface damage at the top (front), but it is well preserved as to the rest. Writing runs across the fibres on both sides. The front bears 15 lines; the text breaks off at the top and bottom. Line 2 was written in ink that turned brown. The text on the back is complete and is arranged in two columns under a heading. The ink has turned brown. All margins are extant. The papyrus is housed in a glass case.

Papyrus sheet, with holes and surface damage throughout and darker by pacthes; written on both sides, along the fibres on the front and across them on the back. The front bears parts of three columns; a sheet-join runs across the fibres and along the height of the sheet in the middle. The back is badly abraded. The papyrus is housed in a glass case.

Papyrus roll broken off to the left, damaged by holes throughout, the holes being bigger in the left half, and with dark stains; well preserved as to the rest. Writing runs along the fibres on the front and across them on the back. The front bears one broad column of 19 lines, the ends of which display some surface damage; traces of a preceding column in a different hand survive. Upper, right and lower margins are extant. Sheet-joins running along the height of the roll are visible in the middle and in the right edge. On the back there are various columns of different length. The papyrus is mounted on cardboard in a glass case.

Papyrus roll, broken off at the left and damaged by holes and other surface damage especially in the left portion; the right half is better preserved. Writing runs along the fibres on one side, the back being blank. 6 columns are preserved, the first of which is fragmentary. Upper, lower and right margins survive; sheet-joins running along the height of the roll are visible. The papyrus is mounted on cardboard in a glass frame.

Portion of a medium-brown papyrus roll, broken off on the sides, complete at the top and bottom; riddled with insect holes; written on both sides. On the front, there are 6 columns written along the fibres, the first and last of which are very fragmentary. On the back, portions of four columns written across the fibres survive. The papyrus is housed in a glass frame.
