Two papyrus fragments forming an almost complete sheet, with a small portion lacking in the lower half. Writing runs along the fibres on the recto and across them on the verso, with the verso having a two-line docket. On the recto, the upper margin measures 25 mm, the left 5 mm, the right a maximum of 20 mm; the lower margin, originally of 30 mm, was then used for three Demotic lines. The papyrus was rolled horizontally from top to bottom. The damage is located along the horizontal folds. The surface is occasionally abraded. The papyrus is housed in a glass case.
