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).
7.1 Knowledge of a splintered fracture in his cheek. If you examine a man with a splintered fracture in his cheek, place your hand
7.2 upon his cheek near that fracture. It will grate beneath your fingers; moreover, he bleeds
7.3 from his nostril and his ear on the side bearing that blow. He also bleeds from his mouth; it is difficult
7.4 for him to open his mouth because of it. Then say of him: “One with a splintered fracture in his cheek, bleeding from his nostril,
7.5 his ear, and his mouth, and dazed: an ailment not to be treated.” Bandage him with fresh meat on the
7.6 first day. His relief is to sit until his swelling subsides. Thereafter tend him with fat, honey,
7.7 and plant-fiber lint every day until he recovers. Knowledge of a wound in his temple. If you examine a man with a wound in his temple,
7.8 which does not gape though the wound reaches the bone, probe his wound.
7.9 You find his temple sound, with no split, perforation, or splintered fracture in it. Then say
7.10 of him: “One with a wound in his temple: an ailment I will treat.” Bandage him with fresh meat
7.11 on the first day; afterward tend him with fat and honey every day until he recovers. As for “a wound
7.12 that does not gape, though it reaches the bone”: it is a small wound reaching the bone, without a gap
7.13 in it. He speaks of its narrowness: his wound has no two lips. As for his temple: it is what lies between
7.14 the corner of his eye, the part of his ear, and the end of his jaw. Knowledge of a perforation
7.15 in his temple. If you examine a man with a perforation in his temple and a wound upon it, inspect his wound.
7.16 Tell him, “Look at your shoulders!” He finds it difficult to do so; his neck turns only a little. His eye
7.17 is red on the side bearing the blow. Then say of him: “One with a perforation in his temple, who […],
7.18 and suffers stiffness in his neck: an ailment I will treat.” Lay him upon his supports until the height
7.19 of his suffering has passed. Tend him with fat, honey, and plant-fiber lint every day until he recovers. As for “his eyes are red”:
7.20 the color of his eyes is red like the color of the shas plant. The writings of the bandager
7.21 say of him: “His eyes are red and afflicted, like an eye at the end of its weakness.”
7.22 Knowledge of a wound in his temple reaching the bone, with the temple perforated. If you examine a man
7.23 with a wound in his temple reaching the bone, his temple perforated, his eyes are red,
7.24 and he bleeds from his nostrils, though little flows down. If you place your fingers upon the mouth of that wound,

7.1 How to assess a splintered fracture in his cheek. If you examine a man with a splintered fracture in his cheek, put your hand on his cheek
7.2 near that fracture. It shifts under your fingers. He bleeds
7.3 from his nostril and ear on the side where he was struck. He also bleeds from his mouth. Because of this, he finds it hard
7.4 to open his mouth. Then say about him: “A man with a splintered fracture in his cheek, bleeding from his nostril,
7.5 his ear, and his mouth, and dazed. An illness that cannot be treated.” Bandage him with fresh meat on the
7.6 first day. He should sit until his swelling goes down. Afterward, care for him each day with oil, honey, and plant fiber until he feels better.
7.7 How to assess a wound in his temple and cheekbone area. If you examine a man with a wound in his temple and cheekbone area,
7.8 and the wound does not gape but reaches the bone, feel the wound.
7.9 You find the bone in this area intact: there is no split, hole, or splintered fracture in it. Then say
7.10 about him: “A man with a wound in his temple and cheekbone area. An illness I will treat.” Bandage him with fresh meat
7.11 on the first day. Afterward, care for him each day with oil and honey until he feels better. As for a wound
7.12 that does not gape but reaches the bone: this is a small wound reaching the bone, with no opening formed
7.13 in it. He says this of something narrow; the edges of his wound are absent. As for his temple and cheekbone area,
7.14 it is the area between the outer corner of his eye, the part of his ear, and the end of his jaw. How to assess a hole in his temple and cheekbone area.
7.15 If you examine a man with a hole in his temple and cheekbone area and a wound above it, look at his wound.
7.16 Tell him: “Look toward your shoulders.” He has trouble doing so. He can turn his neck only a little. His eye is inflamed
7.17 on the side where he was struck. Then say about him: “A man with a hole in his temple and cheekbone area, […] and stiffness
7.18 in his neck. An illness I will treat.” Lay him on his resting bed until the worst of his pain passes.
7.19 Care for him each day with oil, honey, and plant fiber until he feels better. As for his inflamed eyes:
7.20 his eyes are red, like the color of the shas plant. The collected writing on the affairs of the bandager says
7.21 about him: “His eyes are red and diseased, like an eye at the end of its weakness.”
7.22 How to assess a wound in his temple and cheekbone area reaching the bone and piercing that area. If you examine a man
7.23 with a wound there that reaches the bone and pierces the temple and cheekbone area, his eyes are inflamed;
7.24 he bleeds from both nostrils, but only a little blood runs out. If you put your fingers on the opening of the wound,
