It is a papyrus manuscript of the Epistle to the Hebrews, it contains only Hebrews 1:1. The manuscript palaeographically has been assigned to ca. 285. It may have been a writing exercise or an amulet.[1]
Description

- Text
- πολυμερως κ πολυ[τρο]πως
- παλε ο θς λαλήσ[α]ς το[ις π]ατρα
- σ[ι] ημ[ω]ν εν τοις προ[φηταις][3]
It has error of itacism (παλε instead of παλαι), the nomina sacra contracted (θς).
