| Condition | The codex in its original form was probably made up of four double leaves. Of these, two have been broken away, but two remain together, sewed on the middle line with a single loop of light-brown two-strand cord, ca. 4.5 cm. long and 9 cm. from the bottom of the page, tied at the back with a rather elaborate knot. It is possible that more folios might have been included in the original quire, but from the contents it seems unlikely. The size of each folio is 17. 5 x 22 cm. where the complete width and height are preserved. The papyrus is light-brown in color and is of rather poor quality, being marred by strips of varying thickness and by discolored streaks. One would naturally not expect to papyrus of the highest quality used for a school work book.;Folios 1 and 8, 3 and 6, and 4 and 5 are joined. The blank piece of papyrus listed as folio 7 is probably the right half of the double spread of which folio 2 forms the left half, but it is not possible to be sure of this, since the edges of both are broken and the fibers cannot be traced across with certainty. Since folios 6 and 8 are entirely blank, it is entirely probable that folio 7 also was not used. |
| Recto/Verso | Source of description: recto-verso |
| Hands | In the usual manner of preparing the early papyrus codices the sheets were laid down with the surfaces on which the fibers were horizontal on top. They were then sewed down the center and folded, so that the fibers on the outside of the codex or quire were vertical and those on the inside horizontal. As a result the writing on the recto of any leaf in the first half of the quire is across the fibers, and that on the verso is parallel to them, while in the second half the reverse is true. Folios 1, 3, and 4 in this quire, with the corresponding folios 8, 6, and 5, follow this pattern, but folio 2 has the writing parallel to the fibers on the recto and across them on the verso. Although folio 2 is detached and broken, there is no question of its position in the manuscript, since the series of syllables contained on folio 2v is continued on folio 3r.;Each group of syllables that includes the seven vowels is in most cases separated from the preceding and following groups by a roughly drawn line or by a space left between the groups. Sometimes there is no division, and sometimes the line is carelessly drawn all the way across the page, making the divisions in the wrong places.;The writing of folio 2r and of the first two lines of the first column on the verso is in a different and more cursive hand than the rest of the manuscript, perhaps the hand of the teacher, who may have written it as a sample for the pupil to copy. This hand is, indeed, very like Greek cursive hands of the late third-fourth century, although there are too many uncials and and too few ligatures to establish its character with certainty. The rest of the text, although it is in a school hand, large and inexpert, is not without calligraphic pretensions, particularly in the biblical texts, which are written carefully, with shading and occasional knots to finish off the letters. There are no supralinear lines or dots except over the abbreviations of a few divine names and one instance on folio 6r. Instead of a straight line over phi psi there is an angle, very much like the letter gamma. |

The detached fragment was probably from the inside of the leaf and was preceded by three or four coulmns of syllables made of consonanta preceding that in folio 1.Three columns preceded the three columns in the second fragment, and seven columns, utilizing the remaining consonants, must have occupied the bottom third of the page. |

| Summary | The folio appears to be a school exercise book in Bohairic Coptic. In all the preceding groups of syllables only the Greek consonants are used, but on this folio special Coptic letters have been written and are followed by the series of syllables using the Greek consonants in the initial position and a Coptic letter in the final position. |
