Papyrus sheet, complete but with abrasion and other surface damage throughout. Writing is on both sides, along the fibres on the front and across them on the back. The text on the back is much effaced. The text on the front is arranged in one column, and is rubbed in places; the left and upper margins were used to host further writing, unrelated to the main text. Modern annotations are visible on both sides, with the number in red referring to the edition in P.Oxy. II. The papyrus is housed in a glass case.
