V. 191. At the beginning of the line the upper part of 

 a cp still exists in the pap., consequently we have to supply 

 cp<i7.)ToxaTa8s<7[j.oc, a blunder of the scribe for cp<iX)Tpo. — V. 196 

 co A is once more a scribal blunder for oi8s (cp e. g. V. 464 

 ol Ss ^apaxTYjpsc. oi8s). Then we have eleven magical letters left, 

 corresponding with the number given at the end of the line. — 



V. 200. The story of Zeus sowing a grape-stone reminds the 

 reader of the role of Zeus in Pap. Bibl. Nat. 825 and 1473: the king 

 of the Olympic gods has in this magic, where the effect intended 

 by the magician is reflected in an epic story, retained his high posi- 

 tion as ruler of the whole universe. In so far he corresponds 

 to the Isis (and Osiris) of the Egyptians. Here the second half 

 of the story ou arceipei, qux ava(3aivsi may possibly be tåken as 

 the consequence of the first half : Zeus — having experienced 

 such bad results - - does not sow, and the seed does not shoot 

 up — in the same way the headache shall not "shoot up"? The 

 scribe has forgotten to indicate how to use the oil tåken into 

 hand (Aaficov sAaiov sic Tocq yeipxq) ; we may easily supply it 

 according to the receipt v. 211 sim. 



V. 203 after s-iyp(aijjov) [xsA(avi) the magic names begin : 

 '9"a^aievTs9paiToj (obc. supov sv aAAto * TsQ-paico) ^-patTsu etc. The patient 

 probably ought to hang this piece of skin|about his neck, as the 

 following receipt prescribes (<xk~ko ' eig 8sp[/.a uaivvjc, etc). Both 

 receipts give remedies against coughing, in both you have to 

 use the skin of an hyaena, only the magic characters differ - 

 but the command TOpiadiov sic tov Tpa^(v]Aov) xal oifipoyov cpopeiTto 

 is no doubt to be followed in both cases. The opinion of Ken. 

 as to TsftpaiTco = = TETpaoSiov cannot be correct, the editor pro- 

 bably thought of the piece of skin being "buried" at a cross- 

 way, but even so fratLat. does not seem to be the proper word
