Introduction

Medical prescription. The papyrus (20 x 15.5 cm) preserves on the verso nine lines of a single column written contra fibras in the left part of the fragment (on the recto, tax declaration made to a nomarch on 31st August 432 AD [=PSI Congr. 19.29]). The text is a list of medical substances for the preparation of a μάλαγμα. The remedy has emollient-revulsive properties and it would be particularly effective if applied to animals. The handwriting is irregular but neat, datable to the 2nd half of the 5th cent. AD. The same hand has added the price of ingredients next to the quantities.

Notes

  • 1.

    το̣ι̣ο̣ν is a possible reading but does not suit the context very well.

  • 3.

    The final -ος seems to be written over erased vertical letter.
