    Medical, Magical. 1g. Almanac. (Coptic.) A fragment of papyrus, 6°5 x 8°5 cm, has, on one side only(1), parts of ro lines in a sloping, non-literary hand of the 6th or 7th century. The text is of a kind very rarely pre- served in Coptic: it is the remains of an almanac of lucky and unlucky days connected with the moon, somewhat similar to that described by Kratu(2). Cf. also Brit. Mus. 523. The extent of the parts lost, on all 4 sides, is unknown. a]NAdj@MnEe EIOyOTB ENEde[ je (3) NpeamiMe NKATAdpoNIT [HC J@o’ (4) ANAMOY* NETNAGO([(5) ey A ee 5 JmO002 GAPENOO2 GX xInMMA[ (6) ]€MmMA’ MMATE NFOYNOW M[MOK A]NAPKAION’ NANOY4 E0ywMre| (7) q|NA2G@n (8) METNAGJWNE’ GNAZICE[ N]2Z00yT’ 4nAqane EaTcasH [Y 10 2]@MwMc’ Nee’ mMn200oy[|T A small fragment Jain. &.nn[ (9) p]omne nnoofe Mee erehaiirexcel this (plus) (10). oa. become (?) quarrelsome and haughty (xatagpevatis) ..... he too(?)(11) shall die Those (1) The MS. may therefore have been in roll form.
