Introduction
Medical treatise? (P.Murabba'ât 112). A main fragment (1.25 x 0.75 cm) and seven smaller ones. The papyrus is very damaged and the letters very uniform, so that the reading is very difficult. The content is uncertain: this treatise could have dealt with natural sciences or medicine, as some significant terms seem to suggest. The regular handwriting resembles samples from the 3rd-4th cent. AD (e.g. P.Fay. 20), but it could be dated to the 1st-2nd cent. as well; the archaeological context suggests the first half of the 2nd cent.
(This papyrus has been digitally edited by Nicola Reggiani 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 (P. Benoit, P.Murabba'ât 112).)
