Publication side:
Recto
Palaeographic description:
The text is written in two columns.(Traces of script across the fibres on the back, at the top. )
State of preservation:
Now a nearly square papyrus, cut neatly through Column II, along present right edge. The papyrus was apparently folded three times vertically and subsequently mended along the resultant splits with thread. According to H.I.Bell's inventory, this work was done in antiquity (the only example he had seen). The surface is much damaged and abraded, but all sides exept the right are nominally complete.
