- This medium-brown papyrus is regularly cut off to the right. Except for a few minor holes, the papyrus is complete. A kollesis is still visible at 9.7 cm. from the left margin. At the right hand side the text breaks off at 2.7 cm. from the right edge. The loss of text to the right can only be explained by the loss of a kollesis somewhere close to the right hand edge of the papyrus, where a following sheet, now published as P. Col. inv. 331 [331c] (= SB XX 14380), was pasted to P. Mich. inv. 1409. (TC)
- Palaeographic Description
- The receipt is written in a documentary hand, the two last (ii 16-18 and 21-23) apparently with a different pen; they have been signed, countersigned, and docketed by various persons.
