This small codex consists of just seven leaves; the first leaf is missing. A large portion of the text was translated from Greek into Coptic, and there are still some passages that remained untranslated, such as a quotation from Homer’s Iliad. The remedies in this codex include the usual mechanisms to invoke divine protection. For example, pages 4–7 contain a long invocation to the fertility powers of a series of Egyptian deities: Amun, Thoth, Isis, and Horus.
