Papyrus fragments of various sizes from a composite roll, with the larger fragment being made up by joining several sheets of different dimensions, originally distinct; written on both sides, containing several columns in various hands not fully preserved. One sheet in the middle of the roll was arranged in the reverse way to the rest, so that its verso lies with the recto of the rest of the roll.
