- Extent:
- Beginning of a papyrus roll, broken off on the right (front), with two detached scraps; overall well preserved; bearing writing on both sides. On the front, the first sheet displays vertical fibres and bears two lines in Arabic, imperfect, running along the fibres, perpendicularly to the main text; after ample blank space there is the left-hand portion of one column written along the fibres. Upper and lower margins survive. Two sheet-joins runs vertically. On the back, there are two columns written across the fibres; ample blank space was left on the left; the last sheet displays horizontal fibres as opposed to the other sheets, hence the lines written on it run along the fibres. Upper and lower margins survive. The papyrus is housed in a glass frame.
