Abstract
First edition of a papyrus offered for sale by Erik von Scherling ca. 1948/1949 and advertised in the bulletin Rotulus, now in the Duke University Library (P.Duk. inv. 751; ex-P.Robinson 9). The text, as already identified by von Scherling, proves to be a fragment of a magical formulary with portions of instructions for ritual preparations and an invocation in the form of a prose hymn, the procedure possibly relating to a magical genre of invocations seeking favor (χαριτήσια).
