Layout

Text is on both sides. Side 1 is in two columns, the first (at right) is three lines; the second (at the left) is five lines. Side 2, which was cut through its length, has the beginnings of 14 lines of a private letter, written perpendicular to the shorter side. Only a few letters remain from each line so no sense can be derived.
