Introduction
Pharmacological text. The papyrus scrap (3.6 x 9.6 cm) belongs to a roll and preserves the remains of a single column written on the recto along the fibers. Only the upper margin survives (ca. 1.1 cm). The medical vocabulary suggests that the papyrus text deals with the preparation of a remedy: it provides information in ingredients, dosages and administration of the medication, while the title and therapeutic indications are lost. The text is written in a large majuscule sloping to the right and adhering to bilinearity with the exception of φ, χ and ρ; it could be dated to the 2nd-3rd 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. = G. Ioannidou, BKT IX 168; ed.alt.=M.-H. Marganne, BKT X 24).)
