Based on a re-examination of the original text, this article shows that the Turfan fragments have parallels in Galen’s <i>De compositione medicamentorum secundum locos</i> and contain elements of Hippocratic recipes as well. This adds further evidence that Syriac Christians had brought Hellenistic medical lore to Turfan at an early date.
