Two fragments of a papyrus roll, of which an additional portion is housed in the Sackler Library, Oxford, published as P.Oxy. LIV 3772. Writing is on one side along the fibres, the back being blank. Six columns are preserved: the left fragment contains four columns of different lenghths, the first badly mutilated and the fourth somewhat damaged to the right. The right fragment contains portions of two columns, broken off at the bottom. The Oxford fragment might have come in between these two fragments, between the fourth and the fifth column. The fragments are mounted on cardboard in a glass case.
