Two joining fragments of a papyrus sheet of light colour, broken off at the bottom and lacking part of the left half; torn at the top and displaying minor surface damage throughout. Writing is on one side along the fibres, the back being blank; there are 23 lines, but of the last only few traces survive; from line 11, lines lack the beginnings. The left margin survives up to line 10, the upper margin is damaged, and measures 20 mm, and no margin was left to the right. The number in red refers to the publication in P.Oxy. II. The papyrus is mounted on cardboard in a glass case.
