Papyrus sheet, bearing writing on both sides, along the fibres on the recto and across them on the verso. On the recto, strips of horizontal fibres are missing; the lower margin measures 105 mm. Traces of 10 lines are preserved, but the original text was washed off and the papyrus was re-used for the text on the verso. The verso originally hosted a Greek text, written along the fibres, which was washed out to host the second text running across the fibres. Strips of vertical fibres are missing. The upper margin survives to 40 mm. The papyrus is mounted in a glass case.
