Papyrus Oxyrhnchus 1224
The following translation is based
solely on the Greek text printed in The
Oxyrhynchus Papyri, Vol. 10. POxy 1224 comes from
a papyrus book which probably had pages that were probably about
20 lines long. The top portions of six pages (139, [138 or 140],
173, 174, 175, and 176) have been preserved in two fragments.
The fragments which are separated by a substantial amount of
material: fragment 1 is numbered as page 139, while the earliest
visible page number on fragment 2 is 174. It is therefore not
certain that the two fragments belong to the same text, although
the possibility cannot be ruled out

he said, "Those who are healthy have no need of a physician
