Papyrus roll, broken off to the right, damaged by few holes, but otherwise well preserved. Writing runs along the fibres on one side, the back being blank. Two columns of varying height remain, the first having five complete lines; the second comprises twelve lines, the last three of which are indented; they all lack an average of four letters at the end. The third column is lost. Upper and lower margins are extant; no margin was left to the left. A sheet-join running across the fibres and along the height of the sheet is visible in the middle. The papyrus is mounted on cardboard in a glass frame.
