is a cure of biting excellent truly millions of
times.

Prescription No. XXXIV.

(27) [Si inveneris ?] mulierem cujus urina in loco
(statu ?) tristi est: si venerit urina...............

............ (28) ...........................she shall

recognize this, that (?) she will be so always.

The fragment A may perhaps belong to
another page ; but at any rate, the writing
shows that it is from the same manuscript.

The fibres indicate that the fragment B is
to be placed on the level of the lines vi. 15-19.
As the page was at the utmost 15 inches wide
(see above, p. 5), its exact position can be fixed
within a narrow limit of uncertainty, and it fits
sufficiently with the context as incorporated in
PI. vi. (transcription).
