Introduction
Medical text. Six papyrus scraps (fr. 4: 4.5 x 6.5 cm) belonging to a codex. The fragments are poorly preserved: all margins are lost in frr. 1, 3 and 4; one lateral margin survives in fr. 2; the lower margin is preserved in frr. 5 and 6. The medical content deals with therapeutics and probably pulmonary diseases. The manuscript is written in an inelegant, rounded hand 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. = J.W.B. Barns, P.Ant. III 131; corr. = M.-H. Marganne, Inventaire analitique des papyrus grecs de médecine, Genève 1981, n. 53))
