Introduction
Medical recipes. Fragment of a papyrus sheet broken on all sides. This document belongs, with six other pieces, to a papyrus codex containing on both sides accounts of Flavius Dioskoros, landlord, notary and man of letters in Aphrodito during the 6th cent. AD. On the recto, a second hand has copied two remedies against migraine in the blank space at the foot of the page. The medical text is written in a cursive hand assignable to the second half of 6th cent. AD.
