Introduction

Medical recipe. Fragment (9.9 x 3 cm) of a papyrus sheet broken on the upper and right sides, preserving 5 lines on the recto (left margin: 0.3 cm; lower margin: 5.5 cm). Verso is blank. The text is roughly written and riddled with errors. The ingredients mentioned probably belong to a prescription against eye-diseases (Harrauer-Sijpesteijn 1981 = [MPER 13.5]) or, more simply, to a list of pharmaceutical products (Marganne 1983, 250). The handwriting is assignable to the 3rd or 4th cent. AD.
