Written apparently in the Byzantine part of the Roman Empire. Found in Egypt. Acquired from the Papyruskartell in 1914.

Script is uncial in a somewhat diluted stage of the Eastern type seen in the Florentine Digests (CLA 3.295) and kindred manuscripts, but distinctly inferior: the bow of A approaches a vertical oval; B and S are tall; the bow of h is low; the base of L goes obliquely below the line; the last stroke of R is almost horizontal.
