Fragment of a papyrus roll the beginning of which is preserved in papyrus of the Berlin collection published as BGU II 585. Writing runs on both sides, along the fibres on the front and across them on the back. The papyrus is damaged by holes and is abraded and rubbed off occasionally. The front contains portions of six columns; of the first, only the ends of the lines survive; the third and fourth columns lack part of the top; the second and the fifth are complete; the sixth only has the beginnings of the lines. Upper and lower margins are extant. The back preserves parts of four columns, with the first lacking the left portion and the second and third damaged at the top. The papyrus is housed in a glass case.
