- Conservation Status
- Regularly cut off at all sides. The top right corner of the papyrus remains, showing that originally the papyrus was higher than suggested by its present format. A small patch of papyrus was attached to the verso. This patch contains writing of an unclear nature, although it is most unlikely that it is related to the text on the main fragment. (TC)
