Introduction

Medical recipes. Fragment of a papyrus sheet (2.8 x 5.7 cm) broken on all sides, containing on the recto the central portion of a single column of 9 lines. The text preserves the remains of at least two remedies against dermatological diseases: a cerate (κηρωτή; ll. 3-6) and the very beginning of a recipe against erysipelas (ll. 8f). The script is a round uncial hand assignable to the 3rd or 4th cent. AD.

Notes

  • 3.

    A blank space is left before the title of the following recipe (κηρω̣[τὴ]). Only a few letters of the first remedy survive.

  • 4.

    [χ]ά̣ρ̣του̣ κεκαυ[μένου]:  see Gal. Comp.med.sec.loc. 9.5 (13, 298 K); also possible ἄ̣ρ̣του̣ κεκαυ[μένου], but the use of this ingredient is much more scantily attested in Greek medical literature (see Marganne 1984, 100 n. 4).

  • 6.

    βολιβῆ (l. μολιβῆ ‘leaden’) is probably referred to the vessel in which the cerate is prepared.
