Conservation Status

This papyrus varies in color, being mostly light in color but dark in its lower left corner. Broken away on all sides except at the right, where it has been cut off very regularly. Abrasions occur mainly along the edges of the papyrus and there are no folds in the papyrus.

Palaeographic Description

The hand is a typically rapid, somewhat angular cursive of the first century A.D. A marginal space of 1.5 cm. was left at the top of the sheet, although a summary notation was subsequently entered there. As usual, no margin was attempted on the right side of the sheet. The left margin has disappeared in a vertical break, which has also produced minor losses along the entire side. The lower portion of the text has been torn away after l. 13.
