Recto:
Parts of two columns are preserved. From the first column, only some signs from the end of four lines are visible. Nine lines are preserved from the following column, of which the first line is only suggested by an ink trace. The end is lost from all other eight lines. In addition, the introductory word of the last four lines is lost.
Verso:
Only ink traces from the end of one line are preserved from one column. From the second column, there are the beginnings of four lines. |

| Comments on Handwriting |
"flüssige, recht kursive späthieratische Geschäftsschrift" (According to: Burkard & Fischer-Elfert, VOHD 19,4 (1994), 99)
The derivation of the language is based on the text type.
|
| Comments on Text Layout |
In contrast to the two columns on the verso, the two columns on the recto are not separated by a large space.
The line x+3 of column x+I on the recto ends with a number written in red.
Each line of column x+2 on the recto and x+2 on the verso begins with the same word.
