P. Oxy. 20, verso
The manuscript was written on papyrus in the form of a roll. The measurements of the largest fragment are 145 by 80 mm. The text is written in a large upright calligraphic uncial hand. On the verso side are some accounts written in cursive script and dated to the late second or early third century. The Homeric text is probably earlier. There are no stops, rough breathings, or accents.[2]
