Fragments of varying size from a papyrus roll, originally forming distinct documents which were then pasted together to provide space for a copy of Pindar’s Paeans on the back. The papyrus was also trimmed off at its lower edge and cut into sections then pasted together; strengthening strips were added on the recto. The fragments are now in 9 frames, named Papyrus 1842 (1)- Papyrus 1842 (8), with frame 6 consisting of two separate glass cases named Papyrus 1842(6 Sheet 1) and Papyrus 1842 (6 Sheet 2). Some fragments remain unplaced.
