Introduction
Medical prescription. The text is written against the fibres and organized in 2 columns. The recto is blank. The recipe enumerates ingredients with stimulating and analgesic properties. It shows similarities with the λυσιπόνιον, an ointment described by Paul.Aeg. 7.19.8 (CMG 2, 376.25-377.2 Heib.), which can be used in case of palsy.
