Four fragments of varying size from a papyrus roll, the second of which is darker. Writing runs along the fibres on one side, the back being blank. A few letters are lost in between the fragments. The first three fragments contain portions of one wide column; the fourth fragment, which is abraded in places, preserves the last letter of the first column and a second column, still incomplete; traces of ink are also visible at the right edge, which belong to another column, now lost; the blank space between the columns measures 10 mm. The upper margin measures 15-20 mm. The papyrus is mounted on cardboard in a glass case.
