          Four Pseudo-Hippocratean letters (Brussels, Musées Royaux E 6010 Vo). Papyrus fragment (22,5x32,2cm) which belonged to a
          <emph rend="italics">volumen</emph>
          and is inscribed on both sides. The recto of the papyrus exhibits a poll-tax register, datable either to the late first century BC or the early first century AD (=
          <ref target="http://papyri.info/ddbdp/p.oxy;9;1210">P.Oxy. IX 1210</ref>
          ). On the verso, one complete, broad column with 33 lines can be read that has an upper margin of 2,5cm, a lower margin between 4,5 and 6,5cm, a left margin of 2,5cm and a right margin of 8cm (not including the marginal note). Furthermore, in the Greek text
          <emph rend="italics">iota mutum</emph>
          is often irregularly written out (e.g.
          <emph rend="italics">Ep.</emph>
          4a ll. 8-9;
          <emph rend="italics">Ep.</emph>
          5 l. 6), original ι is written as ει (e.g.
          <emph rend="italics">Ep.</emph>
          3 l. 5; 8;
          <emph rend="italics">Ep.</emph>
          4 l. 6) and ει is simplified to ι (e.g.
          <emph rend="italics">Ep.</emph>
          3 l. 2;
          <emph rend="italics">Ep.</emph>
          4 l. 2;
          <emph rend="italics">Ep.</emph>
          6a ll. 1-2). These features point to epistolary conventions for papyri which differ from the medieval tradition and explain the great variety of variants. The papyrus conveys different versions of the Pseuo-Hippocratean letters 3, 4, 4a, 5 and 6a (ed. Smith) which are separated by
          <emph rend="italics">ekthesis</emph>
          of the beginning line and
          <emph rend="italics">paragraphoi</emph>
          between the individual letters.
          <emph rend="italics">Ep.</emph>
          3 was shortened at the end, the ordinary termination being appended as an adscript.
          <emph rend="italics">Ep.</emph>
          4 appears twice, on the one hand as a compressed version of the long form, on the other hand in a short form without the introductory salutation (
          <emph rend="italics">Ep.</emph>
          4a) added in the right margin and separated from the main body of letter 4 with a curved line. Between letters 4 and 5 (
          <emph rend="italics">Ep.</emph>
          4 ll. 7-9) three editorial lines appear which do not occur elsewhere. Of
          <emph rend="italics">Ep.</emph>
          5 the papyrus only transmits the shorter form with certain variations and
          <emph rend="italics">Ep.</emph>
          6a is a letter to Gorgias which occurs nowhere else, but has striking coincidences of phraseology with
          <emph rend="italics">Ep.</emph>
          6 adressed to Demetrius. All the letters transmitted in this papyrus deal with Hippocrates' invitation to Persia by the great king which he self-confidently refuses. The papyrus was written by a large and clear cursive hand with a frequent tendency to ligatures. The hand of the alterations and additions is probably not to be distinguished from that of the rest of the text and at any rate contemporary. Because of these features, the papyrus can be dated to the first half of the first century AD and therefore constitutes the oldest MS authority for the Pseudo-Hippocratean letters.

              The papyrus and MS υ transmit εἰς, whereas the rest of the tradition has ἐς. Maybe it is right to regularize this preposition at this point, since it also appears in
