Musean translation
Mouseia’s complete machine-assisted Musean translation, made directly from the Egyptian, line for line, covering the whole recto (Cases 1–48, columns 1–17) with its wound cases from the head to the spine, working from the Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae transcription (hieroglyphs, transliteration and lemma glosses, with the TLA editors’ German sentence renderings as a comprehension aid; ORAEC release of the TLA corpus, CC BY-SA 4.0).
10.1 Bandage him with fresh meat on the first day; thereafter tend him with fat, honey, and plant-fiber lint every day
10.2 until he recovers. But if you find him feverish because of that wound, put dry plant-fiber lint into the opening
10.3 of his wound, and lay him on the ground upon his bed until he recovers. Knowledge of a gaping wound on a vertebra of his neck. If you examine a man
10.4 with a gaping wound on a vertebra of his neck reaching the bone—the vertebra of his neck is perforated—and if you probe
10.5 that wound, he trembles greatly. He cannot look toward his shoulders and
10.6 his chest. Then say of him: “One with a wound in his neck reaching the bone, a vertebra of his neck perforated, suffering
10.7 stiffness in his neck: an ailment I will contend with.” Bandage him with fresh meat on the first day. Thereafter
10.8 lay him on the ground upon his bed until the height of his pain passes. Knowledge of a strain in a vertebra of his neck.
10.9 If you examine a man with a strain in a vertebra of his neck, tell him, “Look at your shoulders and your chest.”
10.10 He finds it difficult to do so and to see. Then say of him: “One with a strain in a vertebra of his neck: an ailment I will treat.” Bandage
10.11 him with fresh meat on the first day; thereafter tend him with imeru dressing and honey every day
10.12 until he recovers. As for “strain”: he says this of a tearing apart at a joint, though it remains in place. Knowledge of a dislocation of a vertebra of his neck.
10.13 If you examine a man with a dislocation of a vertebra of his neck and find that he cannot feel his arms and legs because of it,
10.14 his penis is stiff because of it, and urine flows from its tip without his knowing; his body has received air,
10.15 and his eyes are inflamed. It is the dislocation of a vertebra of his neck reaching his spine that makes him unable to feel his arms
10.16 and legs. But if the middle vertebra of his neck is dislocated, an emission occurs at the tip of his penis. Then say
10.17 of him: “One with a dislocation of a vertebra of his neck, unable to feel his legs and arms, his urine dribbling: an ailment not to be treated.” As for
10.18 “dislocation of a vertebra of his neck”: he speaks of the separation of a neck vertebra from its neighbor, while the flesh over it is intact,
10.19 as one says “loosened” of something still joined together, though one part is severed from the other. As for “an emission
10.20 occurs at the tip of his penis”: his penis stands rigid, with a discharge at its end. This means one says, “He
10.21 remains still and waiting, unable to bend down or raise himself up.” As for
10.22 “his urine dribbles”: urine flows from the tip of his penis and cannot be held back for him.
Plain English translation
Mouseia’s complete Plain English edition, made independently and directly from the same Egyptian text, line for line, covering the whole recto (Cases 1–48, columns 1–17) with its wound cases from the head to the spine.
10.1 Bandage him with fresh meat on the first day. Afterward, care for him with oil, honey, and plant fiber each
10.2 day until he feels better. But if you find him feverish because of that wound, put dry plant fiber in the opening of
10.3 his wound. Lay him on the ground on his resting bed until he feels better. How to assess a gaping wound at a neck vertebra. If you examine a man
10.4 with a gaping wound at a neck vertebra that reaches the bone and pierces the vertebra, and probe
10.5 that wound, he trembles greatly. He cannot look toward his shoulders and chest.
10.6 Then say about him: “A man with a wound in his neck reaching the bone and piercing a neck vertebra, with
10.7 stiffness in his neck. An illness I will fight.” Bandage him with fresh meat on the first day. Then
10.8 lay him on the ground on his resting bed until the worst of his pain passes. How to assess a strain in a neck vertebra.
10.9 If you examine a man with a strain in a neck vertebra, tell him: “Look toward your shoulders and your chest.”
10.10 He finds it hard to do so. Then say about him: “A man with a strain in a neck vertebra. An illness I will treat.” Bandage
10.11 him with fresh meat on the first day. Afterward, care for him each day with imeru dressing and honey
10.12 until he feels better. As for “a strain,” this means a separation of two joint parts, though each remains in its place. How to assess a dislocation in a neck vertebra.
10.13 If you examine a man with a dislocated neck vertebra and find that he cannot feel his arms and legs because of it,
10.14 his penis is erect because of it. Urine runs down from its tip without his knowing it. His body has taken in air,
10.15 and his eyes are inflamed. The dislocation of a neck vertebra extending to his spine causes him to lose feeling in his arms
10.16 and legs. But if the middle vertebra of his neck is dislocated, a discharge of semen occurs at the tip of his penis. Then say
10.17 about him: “A man with a dislocated neck vertebra. He cannot feel his legs and arms; his urine dribbles. An illness that cannot be treated.” As for
10.18 “a dislocated neck vertebra,” this means one neck vertebra has separated from the next, although the tissue over it is intact,
10.19 just as one says “it is loosened” of something that still touches, though one part has separated from the other. As for the discharge of semen
10.20 at the tip of his penis: his penis is erect, with a discharge at its end. This means one says: “He
10.21 remains still and waits. He can neither bend down nor straighten up.” As for
10.22 “his urine dribbles”: urine runs down from the tip of his penis and he cannot stop it.
