Description:

Two fragments separated by a small, but continuous gap. Text is written along the fibres in a square calligraphic hand. There is no certain clue to identify the tragedy to which the fragment belonged. However the mention of Telephus in line 3 leads us to assume the play described Telephus' attempt to prevail on Achilles to heal his wound, in return for which he would guide the Greeks to Troy. The verso is blank.
