Conservation Status
A middle-brown papyrus, neatly cut off on all sides. At the top there is a margin left of 1.5 cm. at the left-hand side one of 1 cm. and at the bottom one of 6 cm. Four (?) vertical folds are still visible.
Palaeographic Description
The text runs parallel to the fibers and is quit worm-eaten. The hand is undoubtedly the same as that of papyrus 19, but it easier to read because a thinner pen and a better quality papyrus have been used.
