Description:

An elaborate and reasoned attack on the religion of Mani. It could be classed as a document or a work of literature; in this respect it presents a parallel to St Paul's letters and should perhaps be designated an epistle. The papyrus is of double thickness and has been folded. No part of the address survives. The hand is regular but is not a book-hand. However, it has been read over by a corrector. The verso is blank. Roberts attributed it to one of the Bishops of Alexandria.
