- Conservation Status
- Regularly cut at the left and. The right hand side is regularly cut in two cuts. There is a cut in the middle of the column as a result of a fold. The color of the papyrus is darker on the edge of the left hand side, presumably because of the glue used to join the sheets. No restoration is need. (MA).
- Palaeographic Description
- Written in a quick but clear cursive. The scribe separated a new entry from the preceding one by underlining the name of the taxpayer. A big dot of ink can be seen in L.3. Traces of ink are in the edge of the upper part of the papyrus, as well as there are traces of ink between the numbers of the column; the first line has been washed out, presumably by the scribe.
