Introduction
Medical prescriptions. The small fragment measures 4.8 x 4.5 cm and belongs to a papyrus codex. On side A, the left margin is preserved, the other margins are lost; on side B, no margin survives. Ingredients with dosages are preserved, and paratextual signs (asteriscus l. 5 A; filling marks l. 5 B) mark the beginning of new recipes. The papyrus is written in an upright rounded hand dated to the 4th 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. = J.W.B. Barns. P.Ant. III 134; corr. = M.-H. Marganne, Inventaire analitique des papyrus grecs de médecine, Genève 1981, n. 56))
