Introduction

Medical treatise. Fragment (21.3 x 12.6 cm) of a papyrus roll preserving on the verso the upper parts of three consecutive columns. On the recto, traces of an account drawn up in another hand after previous writing has been erased. The text deals with eye-diseases and is divided into different sections separated by paragraphoi and coronides. The best-preserved column (col. II) records disturbances of eyelid motility, vascular alterations, eyelid thickening (ll. 1-6), providing the earliest known occurrence of the term ψωροφθαλμία (see l. 7 and Luiselli 1997, 42-62). At ll. 8ff., another pathological condition is described in association with a number of disorders affecting canthal and palpebral areas. The text is copied in a bookhand assignable to the 1st cent. BC.
