Abstract

This article completes the author’s series of notes on magical papyri begun in Symbolae Osloenses 96 (2022). New readings and further discussion of content and context, touching on the history of science (medicine, astrology) and religion (Christianity), as well as provisional texts and translations, are offered for eight finished products of magical ritual from Egypt of the Roman and Late Ancient periods on papyrus and other materials (O.Moen inv. 631; PGM XXXIII and XLIII; PGM P 5b, P 6c, P 10, and P 16; Suppl.Mag. II 52). A documentary text on the same sheet as one of them (P.Oxy. VII 1059 back descr.) is given a first full edition.
