Content	This papyrus was probably an exercise in paraphrasing and in handwriting. The text consists of a prose fable, headed by a good-luck motto and followed by an epimythium that gives the moral of the story. The papyrus provides a fragment of an ancient prose version of the fable of the Lion and the Donkey, which to date had only been known from poetic reworkings.
