Two papyrus fragments that do not belong together, mounted on cardboard in the same glass frame.
Upper papyrus (A): Upper left corner of a medium-brown papyrus sheet, written on one side along the fibres. The front bears the beginnings of 11 lines from the top of a column, and traces of another line at the bottom. Left and upper margins survive. The back is blank. A fragment now in Heidelberg, Institut für Papyrologie, inventoried as P. G 200 a, preserves the right-hand portion of the papyrus.

The front bears 16 lines, and a scant trace of a further line at the bottom. Parts of the upper, right and left margins survive. A sheet-join runs vertically along the right edge. The back is blank.
