Accounts from a papyrus roll, written on both sides: on the recto are 26 columns, besides four which were washed out to receive a Demotic text. The verso, unpublished, is the continuation of the recto, with further accounts arranged in 31 columns, of which the first 6 are so defaced as to be illegible.
The papyrus is currently mounted in a glass frame.
