Long fragment of a papyrus roll, not fully preserved, written on both sides; on the verso, the texts are parallel partly to the length of the roll and partly to its breadth; an additional detached fragment has writing on the recto only. Housed in one glass frame.

Book of 14 wide folios, consisting of several fragments of various sizes; none of them is complete, and of the first only a small fragment with no writing survives. Folios 3 to 14 were mounted in separate glass frames; the fragments of folios 1 and 2 were framed together. The unwritten fragment of folio 1 is attached to the left-hand side of the larger fragment of folio 2; two additional fragments of folio 2 were acquired in 1926. Corrections are added in the interlinear space, and sometimes old figures are also underlined.

Fragments forming a continuous, yet incomplete papyrus roll folded; written on both sides in an uncertain order, with ink of varying intensity; one additional detached fragment, which, according to the editor, may not belong to this document.

Fragment of a roll or sheet, mounted in glass.

Papyrus roll, medium-dark brown, lacking the upper right-hand corner; with holes and minor surface damage along the folds; written on both sides. The front bears 13 lines written across the fibres and fairly spaced; lines 1-7 lack the ends. Upper, left and lower margins are extant; the right, which is minimal and irregular, survives from line 8. At the bottom the original clay seal survives. On the back, two faded lines run along the fibres at the top, written upside down in relation to each other. A small papyrus strip was glued diagonally on the right-hand side. The papyrus is housed in a glass frame.

Small fragment from a papyrus roll, written on one side across the fibres and preserving parts of 5 Greek lines in addition to the original seal at the bottom; mounted on cardboard in one glass case.

Three papyrus fragments, mounted in a glass case:

Left fragment = Papyrus 1605a: Strip of papyrus written on both sides. On the upper part of the recto, along the fibres, are small portions of 8 lines of a document, followed by blank space. On the verso, across the fibres, are parts of 34 lines in a different hand. The text in lines 1-14 is damaged and mostly illegible.

Upper right fragment = Papyrus 1605b: Fragment probably of a papyrus roll with remains of 13 lines written on the verso across the fibres. Only the upper margin is preserved. There are three acute accents. The recto is blank, except for two characters, a tau or pi on the upper right edge of the papyrus and a L-shaped sign below on the left.

Lower right fragment = Papyrus 1605c: Small fragment of a papyrus roll broken on all sides and containing remains of 10 lines written on the recto along the fibres. The back is blank and no margins are preserved. Further fragments from the same roll are contained in an Oxyrhynchus papyrus published as P.Oxy. LVI 3830.
