Introduction

Medical prescriptions (P.Fay.Coles 8). Two joining fragments (4.8 x 6.6 cm) written on the verso agaist the fibres (on the recto, four lines of a document in a cursive hand), containing part of a series of medical recipes, probably ophthalmic remedies.

(This papyrus has been digitally edited by Nicola Reggiani 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 (R.A. Coles, P.Fay.Coles 8).)

Notes

  • 3.

    ἐπὶ πᾶσαν - possibly meaning "for all (sc. the disease)", e.g. ὀφθαλμίαν, though πρός is the usual preposition in such phrases (see e.g. P.Tebt. 273,iv πρὸς πᾶσαν ὀφθαλμίαν).

  • 6.

    τιτάνου - "gypsum"? See P.Holm. 4.9; Dsc. MM 5.102,115-6.
