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.

This papyrus has been digitally edited by Francesca Corazza as part of the Project "DIGMEDTEXT - Online Humanities Scholarship: A Digital Medical Library based on Ancient Texts" (ERC-AdG-2013, Grant Agreement no. 339828) funded by the European Research Council at the University of Parma (Principal Investigator: Prof. Isabella Andorlini). The digital edition is mostly based on the previous editions (ed.pr. = W. Brashear, SB 20 14501 = "Jahrbuch Preuss. Kulturbesitz" 26, 1990, pp. 85-98; ed. alt. = H.G. Ioannidou, BKT IX 76)
