Introduction
Medical treatise (?). The papyrus (8 x 8.2 cm) contains 10 lines from the head of a column on the recto; traces of a preceding column are visible on the left. Verso is blank. Nothing can be said about the contents of this fragment except that the terminology employed speaks in favour of the attribution to medical prose. The hand is stylish and assignable to the 3rd cent. AD.
