Fragment of a papyrus roll, broken off at the bottom and sides; it is written on one side along the fibres, the back being blank. Portions of 15 lines of two columns are preserved; of the first, only the endings of the lines remain, of the second the beginnings. Each column would have contained 26 lines, with each line having 15-20 letters. The column would have measured 169 x 59 mm; the intercolumn measures 12 mm, and the upper margin 31 mm; no other margin is preserved. A sheet-join runs along the height of the fragment, at 17 mm from the left edge. The number in red refers to the publication in P.Oxy. II. The papyrus is mounted on cardboard in a glass case.
