Summary | This page did not contain recipes for plasters as did all of the preceding texts. Together with I recto, J recto, J verso, and L verso, it contains recipes for katapotis (pills) or trochiskoi (troches) to be taken with liquids as anodynes or antidotes for various physiological ills. The two paragraphoi show that this page contained three different recipes. Lines 4-5 contained a complete recipe; the ingredients, however, must have been few, not more than three or four, since they were limited to line 4. Word pyrethrosin l. 4 is found elsewhere (Alex. Trall. I 557, 8) in antidotes against poisonous bites; however, it remains unclear whether this was a recipe for an antidote. Lines 6-8 holds another recipe by the second hand, but the exact content remains impossible to determine with any certainty due to the fragmentary state of the text. |
