Portion of a papyrus roll another fragment of which is in the Beinecke Library, Yale; with some surface damage throughout; bearing writing on both sides. On the front, there are portions of four columns running along the fibres, the last being fragmentary. The papyrus was then cut to size and pasted onto other discarded papyrus to host the text on the other side. On the back there are five columns of 14-15 lines each, written across the fibres; the Yale fragment preserves the rest of the first column and the two preceding columns. The modern annotation in red refers to the publication in P.Oxy. I. The papyrus is housed in a glass frame.
