The text is written in 1 column per page, 27-30 lines per page.

It also contains a Latin lexicon and Greek grammar.[3]

Elliot calls this papyrus '... a haphazard collection of unconnected verses from the

Pauline letters [that] could have been a school exercise ...'[4]

The manuscript is housed at the Chester Beatty Library (P. Chester B. Ac. 1499, fol 11–14) in Dublin.[1][2]
