Inv. Id P.Mich.inv. 6666
Support/Dimensions 1 papyrus ; 12 x 5.8 cm.
Condition A piece of about 4.2 cm. is missing from the upper right. The damage to the papyrus is nearly total in l. 14, where not a single letter is legible; the traces do not seem to be the impression, resulting from folding, of a previous line. To judge from the space (ca. 16-18 letters), if any part of the preserved charm was repeated here, it was therapeusate Elenen.;The shading on the papyrus is uneven; it is dark on the extreme left side and the right half, but light around the center and center left. The papyrus appears to have been folded once from the top towards the bottom and twice from the bottom towards the top. The folded papyrus may then have been rolled, bound with thread and attached to the body.
Lines 1-14
Recto/Verso Source of description: Verso
Hands For the probably 3rd century hand, cf. W. Schubart, Pap. Gr. Berol. Abb. 40 = PGM I. Schubart (Gr. Pal., 134) assigns this hand to the third century, whereas earlier it was thought to be 4th or 5th century (see also PGM I intro.). Three stars and a lunar crescent, such as surround the text of this charm, may be found e.g. in Delatte-Derchain, Entailles Mag., nos. 296, 301. The stars are, characteristically, eight-rayed, cf. H. G. Gundel, Weltbild und Astrologie, 55 note 21.
