- Extent:
- Fragment of the same papyrus roll from which a papyrus of the Universitätsbibliothek of Giessen, inventoried as 175, comes. The British Library piece, slightly damaged by insect holes and torn at the top, preserves the top of two columns written along the fibres. Of the first, only the ends of 9 lines survive; of the second 13 lines remain, some mutilated. The columns are narrow, measuring around 45 mm. The space between the columns measure around 20 mm; the upper margin survives to 75 mm. The Giessen papyrus contains the foot of two columns and preserves the lower margin, which measures 85-90 mm. Between these two fragments there would have been three columns of 28-30 lines each. The back is blank. The British Library fragment is mounted on cardboard in a glass case.
