Papyrus fragment, with surface damage in places; written on both sides, along the fibres on the front and across them on the back. The front bears portions of two columns, mutilated at the top and bottom and to one side: column 1 lacks the line beginnings, column 2 the line ends. The back preserves the foot of a column, of which 15 lines survive. Lower and side margins survive. The papyrus is housed in a glass case.
