The papyrus leaf is far too fragmentary to offer any continuous text, but Kephalon, still a youth, seems to have caused quite a stir. A baptism is mentioned which might have been the result of a miracle performed through the saint who is then imprisoned. Another miracle seems to have prevented a ship from moving.
