Fragment of a papyrus roll, written on both sides, along the fibres on one side and across them on the other. The central part of the fragment is lost; small holes affect the preserved portion as well. On the front there are 13 lines arranged in one column, written over some previous writing which was erased. The back contains the top of three columns: the first and second lack the beginnings of the lines and the third lacks the endings. The surface is abraded in places.
The papyrus is mounted in a glass case.
