Conservation Status

A middle-brown papyrus, cut off regularly on all sides. the text runs parallel to the fibers, on the verso side as well as on the recto side. At the top there is a margin of 1.5 cm., on the left-hand side one of 1 cm., and at the bottom one of 3 cm. the text is mutilated at the folds (4 vertical and 1 horizontal).

Palaeographic Description

The letters are uncommonly large and bespeak a well-trained hand. The second hand is exceptionally effortless. At the left-hand corner there are a number of symbols (not letters!) not corresponding with one of the three hands. The text on the verso side has been written by the third hand.
