- Title
Das Honigmaß der Papyri Ebers und Hearst.
- Authors
Pommerening, Tanja; Popko, Lutz
- Abstract
The article "The Honey Measure of the Ebers and Hearst Papyri" discusses the various interpretations of the honey measure in the medical papyri Ebers and Hearst. The authors provide an overview of previous proposals for defining this measure and propose a new reading. They present the most probable volume value for the honey measure. The text also addresses the quantity indications of individual drugs in the Ebers and Hearst papyri and compares various drug lists. It is noted that no true parallel texts exist, and therefore, no reliable statement can be made about the volume of the honey measure. The text also describes various plants and substances used in ancient Egyptian medical recipes.
