Introduction

Medical treatise. Fragment (9.6 x 8.7 cm) of a papyrus roll containing on the recto the upper part of a column. Verso is blank. The subject under discussion is δυσουρία, the symptoms and treatment of which are also described in various passages of the ancient writers of medicine (e.g. Gal. Remed.Par. 3. [14, 571 K]). The papyrus was written in a well-formed square uncial hand of medium size, probably in the first half of the 3rd cent. AD.
