- This light-brown papyrus is regularly cut off at all four sides. A large section in the left middle of the papyrus is missing, and only a long, narrow strip which appears to have been glued on later binds the two sections together. (TC) 11-13 letters appear to be missing in the lacuna which may be filled out by reference to similar documents in Rylands Catalogue and BMC.
