Support/Dimensions 1 papyrus ; 7.8 x 21.2 cm.
Condition This rather dark-brown papyrus is fairly regularly cut at all sides. Some damage in the upper and lower halves of the document, but very little text is lost. (TC)
Lines 1-17
Recto/Verso Source of description: Recto
Hands A somewhat irregular cursive. The entire text presents a somewhat uneven impression due to the different shades of the ink: some of the letters are faded and other are stand out in bold, and it looks as though the scribe has tried to redraw these letters, perhaps originally somewhat faded. Between the letter and the date there is a free space of 4.5 cm.(TC)
