Papyrus sheet, well cut and well preserved, written across the fibres. Number 189 in red refers to the publication in P.Oxy. I. Mounted on cardboard and housed in one glass case.

Medium-brown papyrus, made up of two sheets with opposite fibre orientation glued together; displaying some surface damage; written on both sides. On the front, there are 24 lines; the first 14 are written on the first sheet along the fibres; the other lines are written across the fibres in a different hand on the second sheet; this second sheet, although having been pasted at the bottom, contains the beginning of the text. The back was reused to host one document of 33 lines, written upside down in relation to the text on the front, and running partly along the fibres on the upper sheet, and partly across the fibres on the lower sheet. The papyrus is housed in a glass frame.
