A scrap the size of a postage stamp. It ran off mid-word when it tore, and it still runs off mid-word now.

Every stat is a checkable fact about the actual book, not a designer's mood. Bars are drawn against the highest value any book reaches.
Why these numbers
The game's own explanation, as a reader sees it in the backpack.
Three and a half centimetres square, holding a few letters of each verse and nothing else. Nothing in the game survives in smaller quantity, so nothing has less Stamina.
What did survive is Ephesians 4 — the body knit together, and the warning about being blown around by clever men. Small, and it argues like the letter it came off.
The letters on 𝔓132 are certain. Almost everything around them is reconstruction from other copies, and a text that thin cannot defend much.
Published in 2016, and known almost entirely to papyrologists. Nobody recalls it quickly because almost nobody has heard of it.
Cited for this book
Found at Oxyrhynchus, Egypt; 3rd or 4th century; now in the Sackler Library, Oxford (P. Oxy. 81 5258). It was the first attestation of Ephesians ever recovered from Oxyrhynchus, and it sat in the collection for decades before anyone published it in 2016.

By levelling up. A book that develops keeps what it knew and learns the rest on its new schedule.
