Part of a papyrus roll, worm-eaten throughout, especially in its lower half, and broken off at the right. Writing runs on one side, the back being blank. Three sheets of the roll survive: the first and second are written across the fibres; the fibres orientation of the third is opposite that of the first two, and writing runs along the fibres. There are two columns of varying length: the first has 4 lines, the second, which is wider, has 12 lines; the third column is lost. Upper, left and lower margins survive. Two sheet-joins are visible. The papyrus is mounted on cardboard in a glass case.
