Eb 1–3: Introduction with spells for reciting while applying a remedy
[Note: For further notes on contents and spellings in Papyrus Ebers as well as parallel spells in other documents, see the German version.]
Eb 1
[1,1] (The) beginning of a spell for the application of a remedy upon every body part of a man:
Together with the great ones of the temple, the lords of protection, and rulers of eternity, I came from Heliopolis. And together with the mother of the gods I came from Sais. They have given their protection to me. To me belong the didactic spells that the Lord of All has made, to eliminate the influence of a god, or a goddess, of an undead man, or an undead woman, etc, who are in this my head, in this my neck, [1,5] in these my shoulders, in this my flesh, in these my limbs, (and) to make the slanderers suffer, the foremost of those, who forcefully cause interference in this my flesh, a bjbj impairment to these my limbs, like something that intrudes into this my flesh, into this my head, into these my shoulders, in ⟨this⟩ my body, (and) in these my limbs. I belong to Re, after he has said: “I am the one who protects you from your enemies”. Thoth is his leader. He arranges (that) the writing speaks; he promotes the accumulation of the collections of recipes; he provides the learned ones and the physicians who are in his entourage with the power [1,10] to release the one whom the god desires that he (i.e. the physician) grant him life. I am one of those whom the god desires that he grant me life.
These words are to be spoken during the application of a remedy on every diseased body part of a man: (This spell is) truly outstanding, (tested) a million times.
Eb 2
Another spell for removing any bandages:
The one to be released will be released by Isis. Horus was freed by Isis from the evils that were done against him by his uncle Seth, when he (i.e. Seth) murdered his (i.e. Horus) father Osiris. Oh Isis, great of magic, may you release me! May you deliver me from every foul, evil, and dangerous (lit. red) thing, [1,15] from the influence of a god, the influence of a goddess, from an undead man, and an undead woman, from a male antagonist, and a female antagonist, from anyone who should attack me, just as you rescued and bore your son Horus, for I entered into the fire and came out from the water. I will not fall into the snare / to the east on this day. When I was (still) a child and young, I said: “Oh Re, speak for your likeness! Oh Osiris, lament for that which came from you!” Re spoke for his body. Osiris lamented for that which came from him. Truly you have saved me from every foul, evil or dangerous (lit. red) thing, from the influence of a god, and the influence of a goddess, from an undead man, [2,1] from an undead woman, etc.
(This spell is) truly outstanding, (tested) a million times.
Eb 3
Spell for drinking a remedy:
The remedy comes. (It) comes, that which can expel an (evil) matter from my heart, from these my limbs. Strong is the magic, due to the remedy and vice versa. Have you recalled then, that Horus and Seth were taken to the Great Hall of Heliopolis, to take council over the testicles of Seth and 〈the eye of〉 Horus? Then he [2,5] thrived (again), like 〈he〉 had on earth. He achieves all that he desires, like these gods, who are in that place.
(These) words (are) to be recited while drinking a remedy.
(This spell is) truly outstanding, (tested) a million times.

Eb 188 – 220: Didactic texts on ailments of the digestive tract (The so-called “Gastric Book”)
Eb 188
Experiential knowledge regarding stomach afflictions:
[Eb 188a] When you examine a man with [36,5] a blocked digestive tract who has difficulty eating, and where his stomach is restricted (lit: narrow), and his jb heart/disposition is (too) weak (even) for walking, like (for) a man suffering from heat in his rectum, then examine him in the following manner while he lies on his back.
[Eb 188b] If you find that his abdomen is hot (and) there is a blockage in his digestive tract, then you say for this:
“This is an episode of the liver.”
(And) you then prepare the secret remedy from herbs that a physician (usually) prepares (from) “sheep-melon” (and) shredded dates – to be mixed together, squeezed out with water (and) drunk by the man over 4 mornings – in order that you clear his abdomen.
[Eb 188c] After having done this, if you (then) find with both ‟channels” of his abdomen that the right side of the body ((is warm)) (and) the left side is cool, you say for this:
“This is a symptom of restricting (?) [36,15] its eating.”
[Eb 188d] (And) you then examine him again.
If you find his abdomen has completely cooled, you then say:
“His liver is open. 〈It〉 has rinsed (?) itself (?). He has accepted the remedy.”
Eb 189
[Eb 189a] When you examine a man who suffers in his digestive tract and for whom all his body parts are heavy, like (for) an outbreak (?) of fatigue, then you should lay your hand on his stomach. (And) should you find that his digestive tract coughs (?), and comes and goes under your fingers, you then say for this:
“This is listlessness of eating that has earlier hindered (lit. not allowed) [37,1] that he eats.”
[Eb 189b] (And) you therefore (should) prepare for him something (to) open it, (namely) shredded dates pressed together with spoiled beer, in order that (?) his appetite (lit. the eating of his bread) returns.
[Eb 189c] When you examine him after this has been done, (and) you find that his ribcage is warm and his abdomen is cool, [Eb 189d] then you say:
“His listlessness has departed.”
(And) you then make sure that he takes care to protect his mouth from any (form of) burned (meat).
Eb 190
[Eb 190a] When you examine a man with a blockage [37,5] that causes increased coughing, and where his symptoms under his ribcage are like clumps (?) of faeces, (then you say for this):
“These are hardenings (?) on both his ribs. His digestive tract has contracted itself.”
[Eb 190b] (And) you then prepare a strong remedy for him to drink:
Fresh ꜣḥ purée, cooked with oil/fat (and?) honey: ∅, wormwood: 1/32 (dja), Phoenician juniper berries: 1/16 (dja), šꜣšꜣ fruit: 1/8 (dja).

Eb 191
[Eb 191a] When you examine a man who suffers in his digestive tract, where he is afflicted in his arm, his chest and the side of his digestive tract, and you say of it:
“That is a green colouring”, then you say for this:
“This is something that has entered through the mouth (or: as a spell). That is death (or: an undead man) that has passed through him.”
[Eb 191b] (And) you then prepare a ḏdb-like herbal remedy for him:
Fruit/seeds of a tḥwꜣ plant: 1 (dose), ḫꜣs.yt plant: 1 (dose), pennyroyal (?): 1 (dose), fleabane (?): 1 (dose), dšr.w pods (?) of sẖ.t barley: 1 (dose).

“This misery is to descend to the ‟straight intestine” and to the rectum. I should (?) not need (to use) the remedy ever again.”
Eb 192
[Eb 192a] When you examine a man who suffers in his digestive tract, where he often vomits, (and) where you find it (i.e. the manifestation of illness?) forward on his front side, and where his eyes are inflamed/red and his nose runs (?), then you say for this:
“These are products of putrefaction of his secretions. 〈They〉 do not descend into his groin area (?) as his secretion.”
[37,20] [Eb 192b] (And) you then prepare for him a šns bread/cake from sw.t wild wheat and much wormwood; a dbḥ measuring cup is to be put on it, (filled) with onions/garlic, and it is to be clouded (?) with {hunger} beer (and the) fatty meat of a steer.
To be eaten by the man (and) washed down with special-offering (?) beer, until/so that he opens his eyes and his ḫnt sniffles disappear (and finally) depart as a form of secretion.
Eb 193
[Eb 193a] When you examine a man with a blockage in his digestive tract, then you place your hand on him. (And) if you find his symptoms [38,5] and (?) his bulk (?) trembling (?) when you have the tips of your fingers on him (?), then you say for this:
“This is an accumulation of faeces (or: this is an agent of disease (?)), before it has taken root.”
[Eb 193b] (And) you should then prepare a herbal remedy for him:
dšr.w grist (?) from a mnḏj plant: 1/64 (oipe = 1 dja) (and) a half (dja), cooked 〈with〉 oil/fat and honey, tjꜥm plant: 1/16 (dja), Phoenician juniper berries: 1/16 (dja), šꜣšꜣ fruit: 1/8 (dja), gw grass from the bank of a waterway: 1/16 (dja), gw grass from a garden: 1/16 (dja), wine: ∅, milk: ∅.

Eb 194
[Eb 194a] When you examine a man who suffers in his digestive tract, where he suffers on his arm, chest and the side of his digestive tract, and one says of it “this is a green colouring”, then you say for this:
“This is something that has entered through the mouth (or: as a spell). That is death (or: an undead man) that has passed through him.”
[Eb 194b] (And) you then prepare a ḏdb-like herbal remedy for him:
tḥwꜣ plant: 1 (dose), ḫꜣs.yt plant: 1 (dose), pennyroyal (?): 1 (dose), fleabane (?): 1 (dose), coarse grains (?) from sẖ.t barley: 1 (dose).
To be cooked with beer. (And) drunk by the man.
[38,15] [Eb 194c] Then you place your hand flexed on him, 〈until〉 the arm is comfortable (and) free from distress. (And) you say:
“This affliction is to descend to the ‟straight” intestine and to the rectum. This remedy should (?) not ever need (to be used) again.”
Eb 195
[Eb 195a] When you examine a man who suffers in his digestive system, and where he vomits often (and) where you find it (i.e. the manifestation of illness?) forward on his front side, and where he has inflamed/reddened eyes and his nose runs (?), then you say for this:
“These are products of putrefaction of his secretions. 〈They〉 do not descend as his secretion into his groin area (?).”
[Eb 195b] (And) you then prepare for him a šns bread/cake from sw.t wild wheat and much wormwood; a dbḥ measuring cup is to be placed on this, filled with onions/garlic, and it is to be clouded (?) with beer (and) fatty meat [39,1] from a steer.
To be eaten by the man (and) washed down with extra-sacrifice (?) beer until/so that his eyes open and his ḫnt sniffles disappear, where it (then) leaves as a secretion.
Eb 196
When you examine a man who suffers sporadically, like from having eaten faeces (?) and where his heart is tired, like for someone who wheezes (?) when he walks, then you say:
“This is a ḥnw.t blockage (?) from an accumulation (?).” [39,5] It cannot be brought up. The jb heart (of the patient) is unhappy due to this serious condition. It has produced a ḫzd growth (?). (These are) the products of putrefaction from pus. The symptom has applied pressure (?).
Then you should prepare a remedy for him (to) break this up.
Eb 197
[Eb 197a] When you examine a man who suffers in his digestive tract, where his body is entirely strangely shrivelled, (yet) when you examine him, you find no symptoms in (his) abdomen except for a ḥnw.t appearance to the body (that) is like a py.t phenomenon, then you say for this:
[39,10] “This is distress from your house (???).”
[Eb 197b] (And) you then prepare a remedy for him against this: Nubian haematite from Elephantine: ∅, ground, linseeds (?): ∅, carob fruit: ∅.
To be cooked with oil/fat and honey. (And) eaten by the man over 4 mornings, in order to remove his thirst, (and) to eliminate the distress in his jb heart.

Good!
[Eb 198a] When you examine the blockage in his digestive system, (and) you discover that it has blocked itself, and that it has crossed the “channel”, and where his jb heart is narrow (?) and his digestive tract is bone-dry, then you say for this:
“That is blood, a nest/morass, before it has congealed.”
Then you arrange for it [39,15] to depart with the (following) remedy:
[Eb 198b] (And) you then prepare for him; wormwood: 1/8 (dja), Phoenician juniper berries: 1/16 (dja), Egyptian balsam fruit (?): 1/8 (dja), šꜣšꜣ fruit: 1/8 (dja).

[Eb 198c] This illness episode shall leave through his mouth or his buttocks like the blood of a pig after it has been burnt, and specifically after you have laid a bandage over it, so that it (the blood morass?) has congealed beforehand – namely, before you had made this remedy.
Then you prepare a proper first-class [39,20] ointment for him from beef fat, the ꜥr part of celery, šꜣw.yt plant, myrrh and ꜥꜣg.yt resin/sap.
To be ground. (And) bound over (the affected area).
Eb 199

“(It) [43,1] has departed.”
[Eb 207e] (And) you then prepare a cooling remedy for him, and place a pot (with the mixture in it???) on the fire (???).

Eb 854–855: “Secrets of the physician” (The first “Vessel Book”)
Eb 854+855
[99,1] Beginning of secret knowledge of a physician, knowledge of the workings of the ḥꜣ.tj heart (and) of the ḥꜣ.tj (+ 855) heart (in total):
[Eb 854a] The vessels (lead) from this to every body part. How these (vessels) function, (when) any physician, any Sekhmet priest, any magician places his hands and fingers (lit. the hands and his fingers) on the head, on the back of the head, on the hands, on the area of the jb heart, on the arms, on the legs, then it is the ḥꜣ.tj heart that he assesses, because its vessels (lead) to every body part. [99,5] It is the case, that it (i.e. the ḥꜣ.tj heart) speaks in the front vessels of every body part.
[Eb 854b] Four vessels are in his nostrils/nasal cavities. Two are those that supply mucus. Two are those that secrete blood.
[Eb 854c] Four vessels are within his eye-temple region (?), they ultimately (?) are the ones that cause the eyes to be bloody (and) that any symptom associated with the eyes develops through them (i.e. the vessels), being that these open into the eyes. With regard to the water that comes from them (i.e. the eyes): It is the irises with the pupils of the eyes that produce this. According to another source:
[99,10] It is the “sleep” (?) in the eyes that causes it.
[Eb 854d] Four vessels are distributed in the head (or: split apart) – they unite together on the back of the head –, those that ultimately (?) create the ḥtp phenomenon. The bꜣ phenomenon and the ꜥꜣꜥ phenomenon (?; or: the bꜣ phenomenon of the ꜥꜣꜥ phenomenon): It is (it) that they (i.e. the vessels) bring outwards (?).
[Eb 855a] With regard to the flow of air that penetrates the nose: It passes through to the ḥꜣ.tj heart and to the lungs. It is these that provide (the flow of air?) to the entire abdomen.
[Eb 854e] With regard to that which makes the ears deaf: There are two vessels that cause this (and) that [99,15] lead to the roots of the eyes.
According to another source: With regard to these that cause the ears to be deaf: These (vessels) are the ones that are on the temple of a man with (?) nšš.w; (and it) is this that puts the “slayer” (demon) in the man. It then takes his flow of air for itself.
[Eb 855b] With regard to (the matter) where the jb heart overflows: This is the fluid from the mouth. His body parts altogether are made ꜥmd (?).
[Eb 855c] With regard to (the matter) where the jb heart is šs: The vessel called “receiver” is the one that causes this/it. (This) is the one that supplies water to the ḥꜣ.tj heart, [Eb 854 to c] (or according to) other sources: [99,20] to the whole eye (?). When he is deaf and his mouth is unable to open itself, all parts of his body (become) lethargic as a result of every (thing) that the ḥꜣ.tj heart receives through this.
[Eb 855d] With regard to the langour that has/is developed in the ḥꜣ.tj heart: This is his ḫꜣs condition up to the edges of the lungs and liver. As a result [100,1] of its heat 〈it (i.e. the ḥꜣ.tj heart)〉(?) (under the condition that) (?) his vessels become deaf for him after they have collapsed. His ḫꜣs condition, (it) then resolves itself.
[Eb 854f] Four vessels (lead) to the two ears, and (???) two vessels to his right shoulder (and) two vessels to his left shoulder. The breath of life enters through the right ear. The breath of death enters through the left ear. Another alternative explanation: It (i.e. the breath of life) enters through the right shoulder. The breath of death enters through the [100,5] left shoulder.
[Eb 854g] Six vessels lead to the arms, (of these) three to the right and three to the left, where they lead to his fingers.
[Eb 854h] Six vessels lead to the legs, three to the right leg, three to the left leg, as far as the soles of the feet.
[Eb 854i] Two vessels (lead) to his testicles. It is these that produce seed.
[Eb 854k] Two vessels (lead) to the buttocks, one to one buttock, the other to the (other) buttock.
[Eb 854l] Four vessels (lead) to the liver. It is these that supply it water and air (and) that ultimately (?) cause any symptom of illness to develop in it through an overflow [100,10] of blood.
[Eb 854m] ((Four)) vessels (lead) to the lungs and to the spleen. It is these that supply him (?) both water and air.
[Eb 854n] Two vessels (lead) to the bladder. It is these that supply urine.
[Eb 854o] Four vessels open into the rectum. It is these that allow the creation of water and air for it. Furthermore, the rectum opens itself into every vessel on the right and left side of the body with (?) the arms and with (?) the legs, and where they are overflowing with faeces.
[Eb 855e] With regard to (the matter) where the jb heart is ꜥmd: This means that the ḥꜣ.tj heart or the vessels of the ḥꜣ.tj heart do not speak, [100,15] as they are mute; (and) there is no indication of them under your hands, those that develop through the air with which they are filled.
[Eb 855f] With regard to (the matter) where his jb heart is weary: This means that the ḥꜣ.tj heart is weak due to heat in the rectum. If you find it (i.e. the heart) to be large, then something is making sẖp in his digestive tract, like the iris/like in the iris.
[Eb 855g] With regard to (the matter) where the jb heart expands itself (or: where his jb heart shrinks): This means that the vessels of the ḥꜣ.tj heart (are suffering) from faeces.
[Eb 855h] With regard to all “bitterness”: It (i.e. each one) enters through the left eye and comes out from the navel. This is the breath from the activity of a Wab priest. It is [100,20] the ḥꜣ.tj heart that allows them to enter its vessels. Seething 〈they〉 cook in his entire flesh/body. The ḥꜣ.tj heart, however, is nḏḥḏḥ through them, through (the circumstance) where it is brought (to a) cooked (state). The vessels [101,1] of his ḥꜣ.tj heart, however, tremble from this matter. When they subdue (them?), it means that they cover (?) the “bitterness”. If, however, his “bitterness” is uppermost (?, lit. high), this means that they are in overflow there.
[Eb 855i] With regard to (the matter) where the jb heart is nḏḥḏḥ: This means that the jb heart is ornamented/overlaid (???) like the ḥꜣ.tj heart. Another explanation: This means that the jb heart flows like the ḥꜣ.tj heart (?). It comes and goes once it has reached his neck area. His jb heart is under the [101,5] (influence of the) wjꜣ.t discharge.
[Eb 855k] With regard to the buckling over/giving way (?) of the jb heart: This means that his jb heart has been constricted while his ḥꜣ.tj heart is in its place in (?) the blood of the lung. As a result (i.e. through the buckling?) 〈it (i.e. the jb heart)〉(?) arrives at (a condition) of small(ness). This means that the ḥꜣ.tj heart will become hot; then, as a result of this, his jb heart will become tired. His appetite is small (and) he will become fastidious/choosy.
[Eb 855l] With regard to (the matter) where the jb heart is dry: This means that the blood in the ḥꜣ.tj heart is constricted.
[Eb 855l bis] With regard to (the matter) where the jb heart is buckled over from the agents of disease (?): This means that his jb heart has become small within his abdomen [101,10] (and) the agents of disease (?) have siezed his ḥꜣ.tj heart. It will then become weak/dull (sorrowful) (?) and will buckle under.
[Eb 855m] With regard to the weakness of age: This means that agents of disease (?) are upon his ḥꜣ.tj heart.
[Eb 855n] With regard to the dancing of the ḥꜣ.tj heart: This means that it moves itself away from the left (side) of his chest. It then moves into its (?, or into his?) correct position; (and) it then removes itself from its place. This means that the “mass of fat” in the left half of his body moves to join itself with his shoulder.
[Eb 855o] With regard to (the matter) where the “bitterness” of his [101,15] jb heart is abundant: This means that his jb heart has sunk, in which it has moved downwards. It is no (longer) in its place.
[Eb 855p] With regard to (the matter) where his ḥꜣ.tj heart is in its place: This is the presence of the (lit. This exists because of the) mass of fat of the ḥꜣ.tj heart in the left half of his body. It does not rise up, nor does it fall below due to the matter, (rather) it stays in its place.
[Eb 855q] With regard to (the matter) where his ḥꜣ.tj heart trembles excessively (?) when the mass of fat is under the left (side) of his chest: This is the realisation of a small drop (lit. a small descent downwards) outwards by his ḥꜣ.tj heart. Therefore, [101,20] his symptoms of disease spread.
[Eb 855r] With regard to (the matter) where his digestive tract is blocked (lit. refuses): This means that the digestive tract is large (i.e. has become enlarged?).
[Eb 855s] With regard to (the matter) where 〈his〉 digestive tract is hot, wherein it stings, (and) with regard to (the matter) that the jb heart stings: This is heat after it [102,1] has passed by/through his ḥꜣ.tj heart. (And) it means that his jb heart is hot because of the smouldering/burning, like (for) a man who has been tormented by a mosquito (lit. interrogated).
[Eb 855t] With regard to (the matter) where his jb heart is distressed, like (for) a man who has eaten unripe sycamore fruit: This means that his jb heart is covered over, like (for) a man who has eaten unripe sycamore fruit.
[Eb 855u] With regard to the withering of the jb heart and forgetfulness: It is the breath from the activity of a lector priest [102,5] that has caused this. It (i.e. the breath) enters the lungs as a case of disease. As a result of this the jb heart arrives (at a state of) distraction.
[Eb 855v] With regard to (the matter) where a clump descends on his ḥꜣ.tj heart: This means that a clump of heat has descended on his ḥꜣ.tj heart. This means recurring weakness; (and) it means that his jb heart is eaten up by anger. It is his heart filling up with blood that causes this. (It) is created by drinking water; and from eating tainted things (?), whereby it being hot, is what causes this to develop (?).
[Eb 855w] With regard to (the matter) where his jb heart is dark and where he can taste his [102,10] ḥꜣ.tj heart: This means that his jb heart is restricted and darkness resulting from anger is in his abdomen. It generates cases of neglect (lit. cases of swallowing his jb heart).
[Eb 855x] With regard to (the matter) where his flesh is entirely hot, like when a man’s heart is tired, (and) where (his) way overwhelms him (lit. after the way has found him): This means that his flesh is tired as a result of this, like the tiredness in the body of a man who has walked a long way.
[Eb 855y] With regard to the trembling fury (lit. the rage) due to the (demonic) “That-which-intrudes-from-outside”: This means that the jb heart races due to the (demonic) [102,15] “That-which-intrudes-from-outside”.
[Eb 855z] With regard to (the matter) where his jb heart overflows: This means that his jb heart is forgetful like someone who is thinking of another matter.
Eb 856–877: “Book for eradicating the agents of disease”
Eb 856: The second “Vessel Book”
Eb 856
[Eb 856a] [103,1] Beginning of the book for eradicating the agents of disease (?) from all body parts of a man,
something that was found in the writings at the feet of (a statue) of Anubis in Letopolis, that was presented to his majesty, the king of Upper and Lower Egypt, Usaphais, justified:
[Eb 856b] With regard to a person (lit. a man): 22 vessels within him (lead) to his ḥꜣ.tj heart. It is they that provide 〈air〉 to all parts of his body.
[Eb 856c] Two vessels within him entwine in the shape of a cross in his chest (or: Two vessels in him are in the entwined cross of his chest). It is they that generate heat in the rectum.

That which is to be done for this is: Plant purée: ∅, sꜥꜣm plants: ∅, natron: ∅. To be cooked into a homogenous mass. (And) drunk by the man over 4 days.
[Eb 856e] (Two vessels within him lead to his neck.) When he suffers on his neck and his eyes are cloudy/dull, then you say for this: “These are vessels in his neck that have caught a disease (lit. acquired).”

That which is done concerning this is: He should be induced to vomit with the aid of fish with beer, and with ḏꜣjs plants or meat, and his fingers are to be bound with bottle gourd, so that he will be healthy.
[Eb 856g] Two vessels within him (lead) to the back of his head.
Two vessels within him (lead) to his forehead.
Two vessels within him (lead) to his eyes.
Two vessels within him (lead) to [103,15] his eyebrows.
Two vessels within him (lead) to his nose.
Two vessels within him (lead) to his right ear; the breath of life enters through them.
Two vessels within him (lead) to his left ear; the breath of death enters through them.
[Eb 856h] (They) all go to his ḥꜣ.tj heart. (They) part at his nose (and) all reunite at his buttocks. It is through these (that) a disease develops in his buttocks. It is the discharges that bring about the arrival (of the disease). It is the vessels (that lead) to the legs that start the dying off (i.e. on which the dying begins).
Eb 857–877: Didactic texts for growths (The “Tumour Book”)
Eb 857
[Eb 857a] Experiential knowledge regarding an ḥnḥn.t growth on the throat of a man:
When you identify this on a man’s throat, with a displacement [104,1] of the ꜥr.wt material that is on the front, (and) you find that it is like something in/on (?) which is “clothing”, and where this is soft under your fingers and something is on it (that is) like pꜥpꜥ.yt material, [Eb 857b] then you say for this:
“(This is some-)one with an ḥnḥn.t growth of fat as a result of the dislocation of ꜥr.wt material upon the throat of a man.
(This is) a disease that I shall treat.”
[Eb 857c] (And) then you prepare a medicine for this for causing that (it) disappears through an effective medium (?):

Eb 858
[Eb 858a]Experiential knowledge regarding an ḥnḥn.t growth, that has developed due to a displacement of agents of disease (?):
When you identify an ḥnḥn.t growth that has developed as a result of the displacement of agents of disease (?) ((in all body parts of a man)) (and) you find it has the consistency of a ḫsd growth that deteriorates, where the skin/outer layer is firm, but not too much, (and) when {he}〈it〉 (i.e. the ḥnḥn.t growth) is deteriorating with (?, or: in the form of) pus inside its body, [Eb 858b] then you say for this:
“(This is some-)one with an ḥnḥn.t growth due to agents of disease (?) that [104,10] has produced pus.
(This is) a disease that I shall treat.”

(This is) a disease that I shall treat.”
[Eb 859c] (And) you then prepare a medicine for this, that will break it up, as the result of a medium (?):

“(This is some-)one with a ḥnḥn.t growth of fat in the area of the front of his neck.
(This is) a disease that I will cut out with a knife-treatment.” (But) be careful of [105,5] the vessels!

To be made into a powder.
Eb 863
[Eb 863a] Experiential knowledge regarding an ꜥꜣ.t growth of flesh in all body parts of a man:
When you identify an ꜥꜣ.t growth of flesh in any body part of a man (and) you find it appears like the skin of his body, where it (i.e. the growth) is (like) “tanned/cured” (???), during which it does not come [106,5] and go under your fingers, but rather stays in place, (and) in the meanwhile (it) appears that (something) has developed within it, [Eb 863b] then you say for this:
“This is an ꜥꜣ.t growth of flesh.

When you cause (?) him to cough (?)〈until/so that〉 whatever has developed from his coughing comes out, [106,10] [Eb 864b] then you say for this:
“This is an ꜥꜣ.t growth of the ‘covering’ of his abdomen.
(This is) an illness that I will treat.”
[Eb 864c] It is the heat from his bladder forward in his abdomen, that causes this (i.e. the illness), after it has dropped to the ground, and where (it) has returned as well.
You then heat it (i.e. the growth) as a barrier to his abdomen. You should treat this according to the treatment by a cauterisation assitant.
Eb 865
[Eb 865a] Experiential knowledge regarding an ꜥꜣ.t growth on the lower part of his abdomen:
When you identify this on the lower part of his abdomen, while the water of his abdomen rises up and descends, [Eb 865b] then you say for this:
“(This is) an ailment (?) [106,15] for which there is air (???) in/on the lower part of his abdomen.
(This is) a disease that I will treat.”
[Eb 865c] It is heat on the bladder that causes it. Subsequently, you remove (?) it (i.e. the growth) with a cauter. It (i.e. the cauter) should not go down as far as his msjn.t body part. You should treat 〈it〉 according to the treatment by a cauterisation assitant.
Eb 866
[Eb 866a] Experiential knowledge regarding a sfṯ oil-like ꜥꜣ.t growth on a vessel:
When you identify a sfṯ oil-like ꜥꜣ.t growth on a vessel that (i.e. the sfṯ oil-like growth? the vessel?) has produced an ꜥꜣ.t growth on his abdomen, (and) when your finger determines that it is like a ḥpꜥ stone under your fingers, and where it does/is … (?), [Eb 866b] then you say [106,20] for this:
“(This is) an ꜥꜣ.t growth of a vessel.
(This is) a disease that I will cut out with a knife-treatment.”
[Eb 866c] You then wrap it (i.e. the disease) with fat. [107,1] (And) you then treat 〈it〉 (i.e. the growth) according to the treatment of a wound on any body part of a man.
Eb 867
[Eb 867a] Experiential knowledge regarding an ꜥꜣ.t growth of fat:
When you identify an ꜥꜣ.t growth of fat on any body part of a man (and) you find that it comes and goes under your fingers, and where it somehow can be permanently separated by your hand, [Eb 867b] then you say for this:
“This is an ꜥꜣ.t growth of fat.
(This is) a disease that I will treat.”
[Eb 867c] Because of this you then prepare a knife-treatment for it (i.e. the growth). May it be treated according [107,5] to the treatment of a wound!
Eb 868
[Eb 868a] Experiential knowledge regarding an ꜥꜣ.t growth from a “son”-disease-material (?):
When you identify an ꜥꜣ.t growth from a “son”-disease-material (?) in any body part of a man, and you find it as an isolated case or as many, (and) that it is firm under your fingers, like the skin of his body, but not too much, and where it is large (and) painful in his flesh, [Eb 868b] then you say for this:
“This is an ꜥꜣ.t growth from a “son”-disease-material (?).
(This is) a disease that I will treat.”
[Eb 868c] Because of this you then prepare a knife-treatment for it (i.e. the growth). May it be treated according to the treatment of a wound on any body part of a man!
Eb 869
[Eb 869a] Experiential knowledge regarding an ꜥꜣ.t growth of pus:
When you [107,10] identify an ꜥꜣ.t growth of pus in any body part of a man, (and) you find it with head high, pulled together (?), and throbbing (?), [Eb 869b] then you say for this:
"This is an ꜥꜣ.t growth of pus, after it has collected together (?) in his flesh.
[Eb 869c] (This is) a disease that I will cut out with a knife treatment.”
Within it there is something like plant purée, behind which something like wax comes out. It forms (lit. makes) a pouch. When something in its pouch remains left over, it (i.e. the growth? or: it, i.e. the pus?) moves around (?).
Eb 870
[Eb 870a] Experiential knowledge regarding an ꜥꜣ.t growth of the hair:
When you identify an ꜥꜣ.t growth of the hair, (and) you find [107,15] it is throbbing and soft, (whereas) its inner part is firm, [Eb 870b] (then you say for this:)
“(This is) a disease that I will treat with a knife-treatment. [Eb 870c] Its appearance is like an ꜥꜣ.t growth of pus (and/or) of ꜥr.wt material.”
Eb 871
[Eb 871a] Experiential knowledge regarding an ꜥꜣ.t growth from agents of disease (?):
When you identify an ꜥꜣ.t growth from agents of disease (?) on the tips of the arms that you are examining (?), (and) you find it (i.e. the growth) after it has produced water, and where it is firm under your fingers and permanent, and (yet) it is soft, but not too much, [Eb 871b] then you say for this:
“This is an ꜥꜣ.t growth from agents of disease (?) on the tips of the arms” that you are examining (?).
“(This is) a disease that I will treat.”
[Eb 871c] Because of this you then prepare a knife-treatment for it (i.e. the growth).
[107,20] (But) be careful of the sinew/vessel! The thing that comes out from it (i.e. the growth) is like gum resin solution (lit. water from gum resin). If a pouch encircles [108,1] it (i.e. the growth?), you should not allow anything to remain in it.
(Then) it should not come back.
You should treat it according to the treatment of a wound on any body part of a man, (namely by) covering it over and providing relief to the sinews/vessels.
It (normally) swells up after it has been eliminated (lit. after removing it). It is an jn.wt phenomenon (?) that causes this on a man.
Eb 872
[Eb 872a] Experiential knowledge regarding an ꜥꜣ.t growth of the vessels:
When you identify an ꜥꜣ.t growth of the vessels on any body part of a man, (and) you find it throbbing [108,5] and firm when handled under your fingers, and where it separates from his flesh, without (however) being large, (and) it does not therefore give 〈...〉 (?), [Eb 872b] then you say for this:
“This is an ꜥꜣ.t growth of the vessels.
(This is) a disease that I will treat.”
It is the vessels that cause it. It (i.e. the growth) has developed as a result of an injury to a vessel.
[Eb 872c] Because of this you then prepare a knife-treatment for it (i.e. the growth).
It (i.e. the knife) is to be heated in a fire. It (i.e. the growth) should not bleed too much. You then handle it according to the treatment by a cauterisation assistant.
Eb 873
[Eb 873a] Experiential knowledge regarding an ꜥꜣ.t growth of the vessels:
When you identify an ꜥꜣ.t growth of the vessels on the ẖn.tj bend/arch (?) [108,10] of any body part, where it appears to be firm, (and) for which the curvature is not bent (and) many knots have developed – these are like things that have been inflated with air – [Eb 873b] then you say for this:
“That is an ꜥꜣ.t growth of the vessels.”
You should not place your hand on such as these! This (would) injure a part of its (i.e. the vessel) area.
[Eb 873c] You then prepare relief for the vessels in any body part of a man.
[Eb 873d] That which should be spoken as its truthful magic is:
“You should flow away, (you) cross woven vessel that has woven around me (and) that leaps about between [108,15] these (my) body parts!
You should not unite yourself with the unity of the (god) Khonsu!”
When you identify an ꜥꜣ.t growth of Khonsu, (you should say):
“Offer that which is pleasant, (oh you) the one who makes me nhq (?)! You should arrange that I offer Maat, the radiant one, to Re in the morning!
(These) words (are) to be recited four times in the early morning.
Eb 874
[Eb 874a] Experiential knowledge regarding an ꜥꜣ.t growth of (the god) Khonsu:
When you identify a large ꜥꜣ.t growth of (the god) Khonsu on any body part of a man, where it is uneven, after having formed many ꜥꜣ.t growths (and) something has developed in him (i.e. the man), as though (lit. like that which) air is inside it, and it has caused (?) a (characteristic) ꜥꜣ.t growth (-like) injury [108,20], which according to you causes pain, and is not like any (other) ꜥꜣ.t growth -, as it is smooth, functions like a ẖpꜣ.wt phenomenon, (and) all body parts where it is found are heavy/weighed down, [Eb 874b] then you say for this:
“This is an ꜥꜣ.t growth of (the god) Khonsu.”
[Eb 874c] You should not do anything (lit. not a thing) against (this)!
Eb 875
[Eb 875a] Experiential knowledge regarding an ꜥꜣ.t growth on any body part of a man:
When you identify an ꜥꜣ.t growth of the ꜥꜣ.t growth in any body part of a man, then you place a bandage over it.
(And) if you find that it comes and goes [109,5] while attached to the flesh that is under it, [Eb 875b] then you say for this:
“(This is) an intrusion (?, or: outflow) from ꜥꜣ.t growths.”
[Eb 875c] Because of this you then prepare a knife-treatment for it (i.e. the growth):
May (?) it be undone with a flint knife (and) struck with a hnw instrument – (put more precisely) that which is inside it is to be struck with a hnw instrument. Then you remove it with the flint knife.
There is a (growth variation?) among these, that is something like the mnḏr body part of a mouse. (You treat it accordingly and) then you remove it without taking out these seam lines (?, or: this dressing material?) that are on its side, and without disturbing the (healthy?) flesh with the šꜣs knife. [109,10] (It) is to be packed with the hnw.yt part of some carob fruit.
A (growth variation?) that is like a head: This is (to be treated) in a similar manner.
Eb 876
[Eb 876a] Experiential knowledge regarding a “sfṯ-oil” phenomenon on any body part:
When you identify a “sfṯ-oil” phenomenon of a vessel on any body part, (and) you find it to be red and throbbing in the manner of a strike from a stick resulting from a blow from some (demonic) thing in all body parts, after it has formed 7 knots, [Eb 876b] then you say:
“This is a ‛sfṯ-oil’ affliction of a vessel. It is a blow to a vessel that has caused it.”
[Eb 876c] (And) you then prepare a reed knife for this to (?) [109,15] carry out a knife-treatment. When it (i.e. the sfṯ affliction) bleeds excessively (lit. when it is excessive that there is blood), then you burn it out with fire. You should handle it according to the treatment by a cauterisation assistent.
[Eb 876d] When you identify (it) with many crinkles on the ẖn.tj bend/arch (?) of any body part, (and) inflated with its (i.e. the disease phenomenon) air, (then you say for this):
“This is an enemy of the vessels.”
You should not lay a hand on anything like this. This is a hopeless case (lit. it is a head on the ground).
Eb 877
[Eb 877a] Experiential knowledge regarding an ꜥnw.t growth of the Khonsu-Slaughter:
When you identify an ꜥnw.t growth of the Khonsu-Slaughter on any body part [109,20] of a man, and you find its head is pointy and its base is regular, where his (i.e. the patient) eyes are green/blue (?) and inflamed, and [110,1] his flesh is hot as a result of this, then beware (?)!
Furthermore:
[Eb 876b] When you find 〈it〉 on his under arms, on his upper arms, on his groin (?) (and/or) his thighs, and there is pus in it, you should do nothing against this!
[Eb 876c] However, when you find it like some sort of swelling from a wound or a bruise, (namely) on the chest, on the nipples (and/or) on any (other) body part, [110,5] where it comes and goes (and/or) subsides under your fingers (and) water is excreted, [Eb 876d] then you say for this:
“(It) is in (my) hands.”
[Eb 876e] (And) you then prepare a remedy for him to eliminate 〈it〉:
Propolis (?) (lit: fly faeces): ∅, wild wheat flour: ∅, natron: ∅, sk.j flour from a barn: ∅, cow peas: ∅, galena: ∅, oil/fat: ∅.
To be mixed together with an ꜥmꜣ.w plant/fruit, without adding water. The remedy is applied so that 〈he〉 will be healthy.
