Light-brown papyrus, with severe surface damage throughout, especially along a vertical strip on the left. On the front, there are 21 lines written along the fibres, some of which are damaged. On the back, there are traces of ink that probably are smudges or set-offs. The original clay seal is still preserved, with no device being visible. The papyrus is housed in a glass frame.

39 fragments of a papyrus roll now mounted in 13 glass cases. Other portions of the same roll are now Papyrus 115 (1-2) and Cambridge, St John's College Aa 5.1; Paris, Louvre 1169 and Rossale School (Fragmenta Tancockiana).

Fragment of a papyrus roll, written on both sides, along the fibres on the recto and across them on the verso. The recto preserves two columns; the first is broken off at the bottom, and of the second only the beginnings of the lines survive, followed by blank space. The verso contains parts of four columns: of the first, only the ends of a couple of lines remain. The papyrus is housed in a glass case.

Papyrus 109B(1-6): Fragments of varying size from a papyrus roll, written on one side along the fibres and mounted on cardboard in five glass cases, named Papyrus 109B(1), Papyrus 109B(2), Papyrus 109B(3), Papyrus 109B(4), and Papyrus 109B(5-6).

Papyrus 109B(1): Large fragment with smaller joining fragment, damaged by holes and lacking most of its right half. There are remains of three columns; only few ends of lines from the foot of column 1 remain; the bottom of column 2 is preserved; the third column is almost complete; numbered at the top.

Papyrus 109B(3): Fragment of a sheet, broken off at the right and left, with one column; upper and lower margins extant. Numbered at the top.

Papyrus 109B(4): Joining fragments with portions of three columns; of the first only few line ends survive; the second lacks parts of the top and bottom; the third is the best preserved, but lacks some of the line endings.

Lower part of a papyrus sheet, lacking the beginning and damaged at the top. Writing runs along the fibres on one side, the back bearing no text. The foot of a column is preserved, with the first lines preserved being mutilated. The surface is abraded in places. Left, bottom and right margins are preserved, with the right being minimal. The blank space at the bottom measures 78-92 mm. A sheet-join running across the fibres along the height of the sheet is visible at the right. A few wormholes damaged the preserved portion without affecting the text. The papyrus is mounted on cardboard in a glass case.
