V. 191. At the beginning of the line the upper part of 
a 9 still exists in the pap., consequently we have to supply 
9 <LX)Toy.aTa 8 £a[jt.og, a blunder of the scribe for 9 <(l}.)tpo. — V. 196 
oj A is once more a scribal blunder for ol5£ (cp e. g. V. 464 
ol §£ y_apa'/-Trjp£g oi5£). Then we have eleven magical letters left, 
corresponding with the pumber 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 ( 77 r£ip£i, ouz dvapaLV£i may possibly be taken 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 taken into 
hand (Aa^æv fkoiiov zlg ■)(zXpQcg ); we may easily supply it 
according to the receipt v. 211 sim.

probably ought to hang this piece of skin about his neck, as the 
following receipt prescribes (dXAo ‘ zlg SlpiJia uaLvvjg 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 7r£piacj;ov zlg tov Tpdy^(7]Aov) xal dppoy^ov 9 op£iTco 
is no doubt to be followed in both cases. The opinion of Ken. 
as to T£hpaLTw = T£Tpa65!.ov cannot be correct, the editor pro¬ 
bably thought of the piece of skin being “buried” at a cross- 
way, but even so hdtj^aL does not seem to be the proper word
