Light-brown papyrus sheet, broken off at the top and torn at the right edge; with minor surface damage in the preserved portion. Writing runs along the fibres on one side, the back being blank. There are 11 lines; the first 3 lines are mutilated and only their beginnings survive. Blank space separates lines 3 and 4. Left and lower margins are extant, the lower measuring 50-60 mm; the other margins are lost. In the lower edge a speck of ink is visible. A sheet-join running across the fibres and along the height of the sheet is visible in the right edge. The modern annotation in red refers to the edition in P.Fay.
