Introduction
Medical recipes. Papyrus sheet (23.5 x 14 cm) containing on the recto two receipts separated by a horizontal line: the first remedy (ll. 1-14) is a plaster (ἔμπλαστρος) for the stomach; the second is a famous eye-salve made from roses (κολλύριον διάροδ[ο]ν), which is well attested in medical literature (see e.g. Gal. Comp.med.sec.loc. 4.7 [12, 767.12-768.10 K]; Orib. Syn. 3.158 [106.15-20 Raed.]). On the verso (transversa charta), the headings of both recipes are copied with some variants. The hand is a semi-cursive Geschäftsschrift assignable to the second half of the 5th cent. AD.

Notes
- r.,1.
For reasons of space, σκευ[ή] and not σκευ[ασία]. σκευ[ή] (‘preparing’) frequently occurs in recipe titles: see
, 316. - 16.
For reasons of space, διάροδ[ο]ν (l. διάρροδ[ο]ν) and not διὰ ῥόδ[ω]ν (as in MPER 13.8.38).
- 25.
ζμύρνη is abbreviated into a monogram, as in P.Cair.Masp. 2.67141.2r.21. The same monogram appears in several magical papyri (e.g. PGM 1.72; 1.244; 2.60; 4.1075; 4.1994; 4.2893), but it is extremely rare in medical and documentary texts.
- v., 1.
The feminine form (ἔμπλαστρος) is far more common than the neuter ἔμπλαστρον: see
, 320-1.
