Description: Light to medium brown papyrus, ca. 30 x 59.5 cm as presently mounted (width 48 cm without loose fragments). Sheet joins at 19 cm and 42 cm from right edge of recto. Black and red ink (see Remarks); recto (H/V) 4 columns: column I main fragment (7 lines) and small fragments I (recto I x + 8 to x + 10) and II (recto Ia x + 1 to x + 5), column II 18 lines (see Remarks), column III 26 lines, column IV 15 lines (see Remarks); verso (V/H) 3 columns: column I 6 lines, verso II 25 lines, verso III 10 lines or more (see Remarks). No margins preserved on recto and verso, but large blank space over verso I. Top recto = top verso. Palimpsest; traces of former text in black and red in recto IV and on verso. Damaged (very fragmentary); only ends of lines of recto I (main fragment) preserved, beginnings of recto II 1-4 and 14-18 lost, lacunae in recto II 5-13 and III 1-4, ends of recto III 1-3 lost, beginnings of recto III 13-15 lost, ends of recto III 14-26 and IV 12-16 lost, beginnings of verso I 5 and 6 lost, end of verso I 6 lost, lacunae in verso II1-6 and 12-22, ends of verso II 13-25 lost, beginnings of verso II 23-25 lost.

There should be some space between the fragments of recto IV 4-10 /verso I 1-6 , i.e. after HA.t.y-a (recto IV 4), after Niw.t (recto IV 5), between the untranscribed traces in recto IV 6, after MAa.t (recto IV 7), space for sS (recto IV 9), more space after "1,000" (recto IV 10) , space after Ssp (verso I 1), after Ms (verso I 3), and after pA (verso I 4) . Perhaps verso III has only 10 lines (numbered 1-10).
