Fragment of a papyrus sheet, broken off at the top and left; with few small insect holes and minor surface damage in the left edge, but well preserved as to the rest.

The lower margin measures approximately 50 mm; no margin was left to the right; the other margins are lost. There is a sheet-join running across the fibres and along the height of the sheet at c. 10 mm from the left edge. Vertical and horizontal folds are visible.
