It also contains a Latin lexicon and Greek grammar.

Elliot calls this papyrus '... a haphazard collection of unconnected verses from the Pauline letters [that] could have been a school exercise ...'

The manuscript is housed at the Chester Beatty Library (P. Chester B. Ac. 1499, fol 11–14) in Dublin.
