- Extent:
- Six fragments of varying size from a papyrus roll, with surface damage, written on one side along the fibres, the back being blank. The fragments have been named A-E in the frame: fragment A, the largest, is made of two fragments and bears remains of three columns, the intercolumn and the upper margin; the first and last columns are poorly preserved; the column width is 62 mm. Fragment C continues the second column of A; fragment E contains three lines from the foot of a column, with the lower margin. The other fragments preserve parts of few lines and remain unplaced. The number in red refers to the publication in P.Oxy. II. The papyrus is mounted on cardboard in a glass frame.
