Back Cover: 112 mm

Spine: 23 mm

Heigh: 155 mm

The top and the bottom of the fragment have been cut to fit the size of the book, which prevents us from assessing the original dimension of the leaf.

The writing on the hair side has been washed and is thus hardly legible, whereas the writing on inside cover (flesh side) can be easily recognised. The fragile condition of the bindings deterred us from digitising the spine.
