Conservation Status
A tall thin rectangular fragment containing line ends of one column and line beginnings of another. The upper margin is preserved but the fragment breaks off at all three other edges. There were originally at least c. 31 lines per column. There are critical marks in the margin before some of the verses in col. ii: a dotted obelus, a "reversed" dotted obelus and three or four other signs, none of which correspond to any known problems in the text. (C. Römer)
Palaeographic Description
"The handwriting is very round, bilinear, and shows some formality; epsilon seeks to reach over to the next letter, likewise the upper horizontals of pi and tau touch the following letters. This hand is probably the same as the one which produced the Menander roll found in the same house" (C. Römer)
