Introduction

Prescription. The papyrus scrap (7 x 5 cm), written on the recto along the fibers, probably belongs to a roll and preserves part of the upper margin and remains of 5 lines. The verso is blank. The medical text is concerned with a remedy against polyps, whose title partly survives in line 1. It is written in an upright, rounded script characterized by the ε realized in a single flourishing of the pen and a few ligatures; according to palaeography, the fragment could be dated to the late 2nd 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 edition (F. Maltomini, P.Köln VIII 337))
