Two fragments of a medium-brown papyrus, two additional fragments of which are at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, inventoried as 51; bearing writing on both sides. On the front, the upper fragment bears 9 lines running along the fibres from the top of a column, with upper and left margins; the lower fragment bears portions from the feet of two columns, of which 5 and 3 lines survive; the lower margin measures 60 and 80 mm.

The papyrus is housed in a glass frame.
