Summary/Abstract: The paper is focused on comparison of two papyri: PDerv and PHerc. The second one belongs to the treatise of Philodemos of Gadara De pietate. Both of them have very similar semantic level and after very careful analysis we can conclude that the fragment PHerc. fr. 14 which contains the thouhgt of Empedocles is very similar to Derveni Papyrys and the Orphic religion (e.g. using verb θύω or other words which refer to rituals).
