THE
HIERATIC TEXT
BY
GEORGE A. REISNER
J. C. HINRICHS, LEIPZIG
1905
v. \
TO
WHO, IN THE INTEREST OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, HAS BORNE FOR FIVE YEARS
THE ENTIRE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITIONS IN PERU, NORTH AMERICA AND
Preface.
The object of this publication is to give an exact reproduction of the hieratic text of the Hearst
Medical Papyrus and to make the philological and the other material contained in the text easily
available by means of the vocabulary and the list of remedies. The translations given of the incan-
tations in the papyrus make no pretense to being final. The attention of those not familiar with

The text is in black ink; but the headings of prescriptions, a few important directions and the
numbers (quantities) are in red ink. The indication on the plates, of the portions in red, has not

Although the consonants d and t were at this period pronounced d and t except in a few
words (see Sethe, Verbum I, p. 186 and 177), they have been, as a general rule, still transcribed d
and t except in words in which d and t are orthographically expressed in this text. I am aware
of a certain amount of inconsistency in carrying out this general rule; but I trust that the usefulness
The publication bears in itself the evidence that it is entirely on the basis prepared for us by
Erman, Steindorff and Sethe, at present, the only logical basis for the publication of an Egyptian
text. I desire especially to thank Prof. Sethe for his assistance in preparing the vocabulary and in
