I'm currently beaming in to #ISAWNYU PhD candidate Amber Jacob's public dissertation defense in which she's giving us a peek at the heretofore unpublished, fragmentary corpus of Demotic medical texts on papyrus (originating in Tebtunis) that she's edited and translated. To date only 5 demotic medical papyri have ever been published.

Jacob's text edition will appear in due time in the Carlsberg Papyri Series as P.Tebt.Med.dem.

I won’t toot here for each image :)
