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).
5.1 Uncover it on the third day. You find the plate held together, its appearance like an ostrich egg. The spell spoken over this medicine is:
5.2 “Drive out the enemy within the wound! Make the plot within the blood tremble! O assailant of Horus, […] the utterance of the effective one!
5.3 This temple shall not collapse; no vessel there shall […]. I am under the protection of the effective one; the son of Osiris shall be saved.” Afterward
5.4 prepare a cooling remedy for him: fruits of the ished tree, oil, and honey. Cook it, cool it, and give it to him. As for “a bandage from the physician's bag”:
5.5 it is the bandage kept in the bandager's care, which he lays upon the medicine over this wound in his forehead. Knowledge of a wound at the tip of
5.6 his eyebrow. If you examine a man with a wound at the tip of his eyebrow reaching the bone, explore his wound and draw its gaping edges together with stitches.
5.7 Then say of him: “A man with a wound in his eyebrow: an ailment I will treat.” After sewing it, bind it with fresh flesh on the first day. If you find
5.8 that wound with its stitches loosened, draw it together with a double bandage. Tend him daily with oil and honey until he is well.
5.9 As for “a double linen bandage”: it is a pair of linen strips laid along both edges of the gaping wound so that one edge touches the other.
5.10 Knowledge of a fracture in the bridge of his nose. If you examine a man with a fracture in the bridge of his nose, his nose is flattened, his face pressed level, and the swelling over it rises;
5.11 he bleeds from both nostrils. Then say of him: “A man with a fracture in the bridge of his nose: an ailment I will treat.” Wipe it with two linen swabs. Place
5.12 two linen swabs moistened with oil inside his nostrils. Lay him upon his bed until his swelling subsides. Then place
5.13 linen rolls upon him to hold his nose together. Afterward tend him daily with oil, honey, and lint
5.14 until he is well. As for “the bridge of his nose”: it extends from the upper tip of his nose down along its outer side, and within his nose between the nostrils.
5.15 As for “his nostrils”: they are the sides of his nose, running from his cheek to the end of his nose, where they open on its outer surface.
5.16 Knowledge of a fracture in the chamber of his nose. If you examine a man with a fracture in the chamber of his nose, you find his nose crooked,
5.17 his face flattened, and the swelling upon it raised. Then say of him: “A man with a fracture in the chamber of his nose: an ailment I will treat.” Set
5.18 it back in its place. Wipe out what lies in his nostrils with two linen wads until every blood clot formed inside them comes forth.
5.19 Afterward you shall lay down two swabs of linen cloth, moistened with oil; they are to be placed within his two nostrils.
5.20 Place two linen rolls upon it and bind over them. Thereafter tend him daily with oil, honey, and lint until he is well. As for “the fracture
5.21 in the chamber of his nose”: this is the middle of his nose to the rear, reaching between his eyebrows. As for “his nose is crooked, his face flattened”:
5.22 his nose is twisted, swollen and enlarged, as are his cheeks; therefore his face is flattened, its proper shape lost because every hollow is filled with swelling.

5.1 Uncover the wound on the third day. You find the skull plate held together, its color like an ostrich egg. Say this spell over the remedy:
5.2 “Drive out the enemy in the wound! Shake the evil in the blood! O enemy of Horus, protection belongs to the words of the powerful goddess.
5.3 This temple of the head will not collapse. No vessel there […]. I am under the protection of the powerful goddess. The son of Osiris is saved.” Afterward,
5.4 prepare a cooling remedy for him: fruit of the ished fig tree, oil, and honey. Boil it, let it cool, and give it to him. As for “a dressing from the doctor's bag”:
5.5 this is the strip of linen the bandager keeps with him and places over the medicine on the wound on the man's forehead. Examination of a wound at the tip of
5.6 his eyebrow. If you examine a man with a wound at the tip of his eyebrow reaching the bone, feel the wound. Bring its edges together with stitches.
5.7 Then say about him: “A man with a wound in his eyebrow: a condition I will treat.” After stitching it, bandage it with fresh meat on the first day. If you find
5.8 that wound with its stitches loosened, bring the edges together with a double bandage. Treat him daily with oil and honey until he feels better.
