| Title | Unidentified document Mentioning Orphans |

| Author | Unknown |
| Summary | The first line informs us that the subject is the livelihood of orphans, who may have had some of their property seized from them. If this were a petition or official document, we would expect an address to an official and a very large amount of text lost to the left. More likely, perhaps, is a private letter voicing such concerns. |

| Support/Dimensions | 1 papyrus ; 9.0 x 14.7 cm |
| Condition | the type of text on this papyrus is difficult to establish. We have only the upper and right-hand margins. From the appearance a considerable amount of the text is lost to the left. Damage from line 4 onward leaves the sense even more fragmentary until line 7 where the papyrus breaks off. being blank, the back offers no help. |
