Textual Notes
Sheet-join, there are three layers of papyrus visible on the verso’s upper edge. Perhaps a demotic palimpsest on the verso?

The letters are large, but appear to be written with skilled hand. Uniquley, the writer appears to hold the stylus at a variable angle, where by both sides of the pen are used.
