BKT 10 21 = Trismegistos 154377 = LDAB 154377



Introduction

Therapeutical manual. The papyrus fragment (10.1 x 6 cm) belongs to a roll and contains the central part of a single column written on the recto along the fibers. Only the upper margin survives (ca. 2 cm), therefore the original length of neither the column nor the lines can be determined. The medical content is possibly concerned with the treatment of eye diseases and contains references to a cataplasm (l. 2), a wool swab (l. 3), inflammation (l. 9), intense pain (l. 10), leeches (l. 15), scarification (l. 17). The text is a good-quality copy and a refined technical vocabulary is here employed. The rounded, regular script shows some archaic elements (see ν and τ), and could be assigned to the 1st-2nd 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 (C. Magdelaine - J.-L. Fournet, BKT X 21))
