A fragmentary sheet of papyrus displayed in a glass case, covered on one side with dense horizontal rows of dark ink text that appear to be Greek script.

The image shows a rectangular papyrus fragment mounted under glass, with jagged edges and multiple losses, leaving only portions of the original sheet. The surface is stained brown/tan from age, while the writing is in a darker ink forming many closely spaced lines across most of the visible area. The script does not show clearly identifiable hieroglyphic characters; instead, it appears consistent with cursive/handwritten Greek lettering as in many Roman-period papyrus documents. No figural imagery or divine iconography is visible, only writing. A small label with inventory information is visible outside the papyrus on the mount, but the readable text in the photograph is too small to confidently quote. No cartouches or royal names are legible in the provided resolution.
