Introduction

Medical prescriptions (O.Bodl. II 2183). Ostrakon belonging to the Theban medical dossier ( Préaux 1956 ). The recto preserves parts of three recipes; the first two remedies are potions against internal corrosive processes, probably inflammatory diseases of the digestive tract (recipe 1; ll. 1-3) and catarrh or haemorrhage (recipe 2; ll. 4-6). Only few unreadable traces of the third remedy survive (ll. 7 ff.). It is not possible to asses the exact number of letters lost at the beginning of each line. The verso is blank.

(This papyrus has been digitally edited by Luca Iori, with former contributions by Angelica Brunazzi, 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. = C. Préaux, O.Bodl. II 2183; ed.alt. = C. Préaux, CE 31, 1956, pp. 141-2). Revised by Nicola Reggiani in the framework of the PRIN 2017 Project "Greek and Latin Literary Papyri from Graeco-Roman and Late Antique Fayum (4th BC – 7th AD): Texts, Contexts, Readers" funded by the Italian Ministry of Research (P.I. Prof. Lucio Del Corso, University of Cassino; Local Research Unit at the University of Parma, coordinator: Prof. Nicola Reggiani).)
