Johnson Papyrus illustrated herbal source tradition

Source-backed inferon for the fragmentary late-antique illustrated herbal/source tradition around the extant Johnson Papyrus.

The named papyrus title has No footnotes metadata and is categorized through manuscript-art and botany-book stubs, which is a concrete source-led manuscript/object gap visible from title and metadata alone. Source title-prior route: route:e079d473ef252b5e2a88d8d4a59a492e65d44621a4013fba.

L2 Candidate Inferred source Published

Papyrus Graecus Holmiensis technical-recipe stratum inferon

Source-backed inferon that Papyrus Graecus Holmiensis preserves earlier Greco-Egyptian technical recipe strata rather than a self-contained work.

Named papyrus title suggests a concrete manuscript witness; title-only appraisal flags possible missing source strata or excerpted technical recipes behind the named object. Source title-prior route: route:5e9fa6f5a68667c03a5a3f54762c00f7c9225c4de801d9be.

Diophanes of Bithynia agronomic source-chain inferon

Inferon for Diophanes of Nicaea/Bithynia as the agronomic source node mediating the Mago and Cassius Dionysius tradition through a lost six-book epitome.

The paired Bithynian name variants indicate a historically specific ancient author or source figure likely dependent on later citation chains. Source title-prior route: route:f15eddf77eec1c55fa3b58acd0853ea05760303aefbade33.
