The same ancient text or artifact as recorded by 2 records across 2 independent projects, recognised as one entity by its TM-Text identifier. View on Trismegistos →

A small fragment of a Greek document from Roman Egypt, preserving only scattered words such as "of the right", "having left", "of clay" and "inscribed". Its purpose cannot be determined. It dates to the 2nd or 3rd century AD.

In English machine translation

[...] [...] summoning(?) [...] [...] of the right [...] [...] and having left [...] [...] of clay [...] [...] inscribed these things [...] [...] equipment (?) [...] [...] [...] [...] [...]

The words "of clay" and "inscribed" might point to a magical or medical context, but too little survives to be sure.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Fragment of Document). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
