Document Details : Title: An Overlooked Magical Formulary (P.Oxy. 3.433) Author(s): ZELLMANN-ROHRER, Michael Journal: Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists Volume: 55 Date: 2018 Pages: 195-209 DOI: 10.2143/BASP.55.0.3285017 Abstract : Re-edition of P.Oxy. 3.433, a fragmentary text whose character remained obscure to its first editors. It may now be recognized as an early instance, for Oxyrhynchus, of a Greek magical formulary in book-roll format. The fragment preserves portions of at least four recipes, including part of an invocation: three bear marginal titles promising to restrain anger, instill hatred, and set two parties at odds; another involves the ritual activation of a figurine in a wooden shrine. |
