Introduction
Recipes. Five fragments (fr. 1: 5.1 x 5.3 cm; fr. 2: 11 x 5.3 cm; fr. 3: 4.6 x 1.8 cm; fr. 4: 4.9 x 3.2 cm; fr. 5: 2.3 x 1.2 cm) from a papyrus roll written on both sides across the fibers. A collection of aromatic recipes is contained on the front. Frr. 1 + 2 and 4 preserve the remains of two columns, and horizontal strokes separate different sections of the text. A document is copied on the back (7th c. AD).The medical text is written in a roundish script with a black ink; the scribe used a blunt pen and the resulting letters are rather thick. Discovered at Hermoupolis Magna, it could be dated to the 6th c. AD.
