Conservation Status
A light-brown papyrus, of a slightly darker color at the kollesis (approx. 4 cm. from the right-hand side). It is cut off fairly regularly only at the top. There is an upper margin of 1 cm.
The text on the verso side was written after the papyrus was broken off at the right and left-hand sides. One vertical fold is still visible. The text is extremely difficult to read in some places due to holes and very bad fading.
Palaeographic Description
The hand on the Verso is well-trained and writes quite large letters. The text on the recto side, written in large letters by a well-trained hand, begins 1.5 cm. from the upper edge.
