Some Additional Fragments of the London Medical 



Papyrus. 



By Fkederic George Kenyon in London. 

 (Mit einem Anhang von II. Diels.) 



ihe foUowing fragments came to the British Museum in 1900, in Com- 

 pany with those of the Herodas papyru.s, which have ah-eady been pu- 

 bHshed.' They consist of twenty-three small fragments (originally twenty- 

 six, since nos. 6 and 7 are composed of two and three pieces respecti- 

 vely), wliich ai-e shown by their handwriting to belong to the great 

 Medical Papyrus , containing large extracts from the latrlca of Menon, 

 which was acquired by the British Museum in 1890 and edited by 

 Prof. Diels in i893.- The fragments are very small, but they serve 

 to complete, and in some cases to amend, the printed tcxt, and con- 

 sequently deserve publication. The restoration of such small scraps 

 to their proper place must, as a rule, be due to a comparison of the 

 actual fragments with the original papyrus, since the text contained 

 in them is generally too small to provide a clue. Consequently I have 

 done what I can, by repeated examination of the MS., to identify 

 the positions of these fragments, with the results wliich are stated 

 below: but I have preferred to leave the restorations of text, which 

 follow from these identifications , to the distinguished editor of the rest 

 of the treatise, my friend and coUeague Prof. Diels.
