Six fragments bearing writing on one side, the back being blank; mounted on cardboard in the same glass frame.

Three fragments at the top (A): Three fragments from a light-brown papyrus roll, further portions of which are now at the Cadbury Research Library in Birmingham, inventoried as P. Harris 177 and published as P.Harris I 36. The writing runs along the fibres. Each column originally contained an average of forty-five lines. The left fragment bears the ends of twelve lines from the top of a column running along the fibres, with ample upper margin; traces of the following column are visible. The fragment in the middle bears portions of eighteen lines, all lacking the beginnings; on the right fragment, there are the beginnings of sixteen lines, and traces of another column on the left.

Two fragments at the bottom (B): Used to back the fragments at the top, and belonging to a different papyrus roll. The writing runs along the fibres; the left fragment preserves parts of twelve lines from the top of a column, lacking beginnings and ends; the upper margin partly survives; the second fragment has the central portions of eleven lines, possibly from the foot of a column.

Lower right fragment (C): Papyrus fragment, not belonging to the other rolls; with a few words from four lines running along the fibres.

Small and complete papyrus, slightly damaged along the right edge and some of the horizontal folds; it is written on one side along the fibres, the back having some dark spots and possible traces of ink.

All margins are extant, the side ones being minimal; the blank space at the bottom measures 90 mm. A trace of ink is visible at the bottom. The original clay seal with the string of papyrus used to keep the sheet rolled up are preserved. The papyrus is housed in a glass case.
