Trismegistos 118696 = LDAB 118696



Introduction

Medical recipes. The papyrus fragment (17.4 x 14 cm), written on both sides by the same hand, is probably part of a roll. It preserves 20 lines on the recto and 15 on the verso; the columns is ca. 11 cm wide and the intercolumnium measures ca. 3.5 cm. Upper, lower and right margins are lost. The manuscript contains a collection of recipes. The text on the front, partly overlapping with Aet. XII 67, is concerned with the treatment of the sore throat, arthritis, epilepsy and headache; the back preserves three remedies against cough and bronchial affections introduced by short titles and separated by horizontal strokes. Phonetic mistakes occur in both sides. The papyrus is written in a semi-literary script assigned to the 6th-7th c. AD.

(This papyrus has been digitally edited by Francesca Corazza as part of the Project "DIGMEDTEXT - Online Humanities Scholarship: A Digital Medical Library based on Ancient Texts" (ERC-AdG-2013, Grant Agreement no. 339828) funded by the European Research Council at the University of Parma (Principal Investigator: Prof. Isabella Andorlini). The digital edition is mostly based on the previous edition (F. Mitthof, GMP II 9))
