Introduction
Medical recipe. Fragment (9.7 x 13 cm) from the upper right hand side of a papyrus sheet written on the recto along the fibers. The reverse side is blank. Lower (3.9 cm), upper (0.5 cm), and right margins are preserved, the left margin is lost. According to the title at the top of the text, the fragment contains a remedy for a wound; the ingredients listed in the papyrus suggest that we are dealing with a prescription specifically intended for alleviating eye ailments. The dicolon separates different ingredients and the diplè obelismene marks the end of the recipe. The text is written in a black ink; the semi-literary script, similar to that of O.Berol 364, can be assigned to the 5th-6th c. AD. The papyrus was found at Hermoupolis.
