The papyrus is a dark brown color.
This fragment appears to be a join section where two papyrus
sheets were joined together in the making of a longer roll.

In 1998, these three papyri fragments became the first papyri
from a private collection to be published on the World Wide Web.
These fragments were previously part group of fragments from a
richly decorated larger roll that is now dispersed.
