Pap.Graec.Mag. 2 66 12.5 x 22.5
Collection of similes from Homer (3rd-4th century) The papyrus has been folded three times, forming eight sections. In this rough scrawl, the characters are irregular half-uncials, and the lines in col.2 are closer together than in col.1. A rude drawing stands between the columns: it depicts two men erect, facing one another, the left hand of A touching the right hand of B. The purpose of the spell is separation magic.
