- Palaeographic Description
- To the left of the text is a narrow margin somewhat less than 1 cm. On the right side the lines are generally carried to the edge of the sheet. There is no margin below the text, but this may have been lost in a horizontal tear at the bottom. The address on the verso was also written parallel with the fibers on that side.
