Introduction

Medical prescriptions. The papyrus, of poor quality and traslucent, has a light-brown color, is written on one surface, and preserves scanty parts of 14 lines of text. Even though it is not easy to interpret, the text is likely to be a collection of medical prescriptions. The two little spaces between ll. 10 and 11 and between ll. 11 and 12 maybe contained a title. The handwriting and the layout suggest that this papyrus probably belonged to the same of P.Tebt.Tait 43; however, since in P.Tebt.Tait 44 the lines are a little closer and the pen is a little finer, probably P.Tebt.Tait 43 and 44 were not close together.

(This papyrus has been digitally edited by Andrea Bernini 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 edition (W.J. Tait, P.Tebt.Tait 44).)

Notes

  • 4-5.

    A vertical stroke occurs under the last epsilon of l. 4 and over the last alpha of l. 5. It is presumably an accidental mark.
