2: Fragment of papyrus, written on two sides (6 lines along the fibres on recto [one of which in the margin or another column], 2 lines against the fibres on verso).
3: Fragment of papyrus, written on both sides (3 lines along the fibres on recto, 4 lines against the fibres on verso), with lower margin (recto) partly extant.
