During a visit to England in December 1922 I had an oppor- 

 tunity of looking through some of the Greek magical 

 papyri at the British Museum. I had not sufficient time to 

 inspect No. XLVI, but I perused the other papyri of this class 

 (published by F. G. Kenyon in the Ist volume of the "Greek 

 Papyri in the British Museum— Catalogue"), assisted on all diffi- 

 cult points by the invaluable keen-sightedness and erudition of 

 Mr. H. I. Bell, who confirmed or corrected several of my proposals 

 as to the text, and in some obscure places succeeded in 

 detecting the true readings of the original. I hope that in this 

 respect the following remarks do not deviate from the old rule: 

 suum cuique. 



Since my return home I have made use of the numerous 

 corrections of Prof. U. Wilcken, published in the Gott. gel. 

 Anz. 1894, 728 sqq. 



Pap. CXXI. 



Recto. 



V. 175 xpa|x(jia = xpa[/.a »mixed wine«, cp. Mayser, Gramm, 

 der gr. Pap. p. 218/9 (zpo^puov = xpojxuov sim.). The effect is 

 that the old woman neither talks nor drinks too much, taking 

 this sort of resinous wine. Moreover (ypauv) pjTa no doubt re- 

 presents [t^ts, which is either an error in writing (most probably) 

 or a peculiarity of pronunciation (cp. Mayser, Gramm. p. 60 above). 



V. 170 probably wov 6'^oiov p])va) ysvéafrai, cp. v. 182, where 

 Ken. takes olvov to be a blunder for oivco — in the original ov 

 and co may easily have been confused. 



V. 173 cpaysi = tpays, cp. Mayser, Gramm. p. 73 § 11 (citing 

 Goodspeed, Pap. Chic. 9,9 uyiouvsi = uyiaivs). 



V. 178 sqq. The recipe probably deals with the eyes, as is 

 shown by §og eig ttjv o^tv |xup[L^£]a&at.. The Jtopt is mostly used 

 in medicaments for the eyes, cp. Alex. Trall. 1. II. 



V. 179 /.al Lf*si£ak? The lacuna is better filled with five 

 letters than four.
