The phrase ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχειν (cf. MGr ἐγγαστρώνομαι ), found in Herodotus, and the medical writers from Hippocrates down (see Hobart, p. 92), may be quoted from P Ryl II. 68.13 (B.C. 89), where one woman complains of another who ε ̣͗[πληξέν ] με . . . ἐγ γαστρ [ὶ ] ἔχουσαν πεντάμηνον . It is used of a sow, P Magd 4.6 (iii/B.C.), and P Flor II. 130.3 (A.D. 257) καταπι ]ανθ ̣εῖσαν ὗν ἔχουσαν καὶ ἐ [ν γ ]αστρί . Cf.
