Long roll broken at the right end, which was cut in seven pieces when housed into glass. - At the folds of the roll deep indentations have been worn from both edges toward the center of the sheet (the damage is most important in the right part of the roll). - The sheet bearing col. I of the recto and col. XI-XII of the Verso was attached to the rest after these columns had been written. - A fragment from the bottom of col. IX seems to have been lost since the publication of the text.
