This Oxyrhynchus papyrus (30 x 24 cm) was probably part of a sizeable volume of hagiographical texts. It is written in uncial calligraphic script, inclined to the right, and can be dated on palaeographic grounds to the 5th century. A fragment from the Martyrdom of Paphnoutios and his Companions (BHG 1418z) is found on the recto (Papiri greci e latini, vol. I, Florence, 1912, n. 26), while a fragment of the Martyrdom of Christina of Tyre (BHG 301y) is on the verso, written by the same hand (ibid. n. 27).
