Description: 
This papyrus consists of a quire of four sheets. The bottom one is so damaged that of the last leaf only a piece of the inner margin remains. The pages are numbered consecutively from 1 to 11 so there are no missing leaves. It would appear that the quire was complete in itself and not preceded by other quires.
