Although it appears that everything has been photographed, parts of this papyrus are missing from this inventory number. For example, if you look at the right side of the third frame, you can see that a section in front is missing. It is not unusual for traders to sell papyri in parts, but it is strange that frame three on the right side has been cut through images.
Shorter published the frames in 1938 in the Catalogue of Egyptian Religious Papyri in the British Museum but makes no comment on any missing parts there
