Notes/Discussion:

Written transversa charata, beginning with a protocol, verso with list of persons in Greek (probably unrelated); Blank side reused by TM 111297 (TM 24/9/18); Bilabel and Grohmann left the relationship between recto and verso undecided (1934: p. 346); P. Heid. Inv. Aeg. 13 was rolled within this one.

Mihalyko in Liturgical Papyri (p. 193) suggests that this could have been buried at the head of the dead.
