Found another walkthrough on the same site:
This one is about the Amiga version.

The last screenshot is flipped horizontally for some reason.

The description of the potions level (they numbered it "1/1") suggests that they played a cracked version. Tsk, tsk!
A szint elején kiíródik az a betű, amit valamelyik korsón láthatunk.
At the beginning of the level, a letter is displayed, which can be seen on one of the pots.
No page/line/word, just a letter.

This site: https://solvalou.com/pelit has scanned game reviews in Finnish.
One of the games is PoP.

http://princeofpersia.ppa.pl/czytelnia.html has scans of two Polish articles about PoP.

Since last weekend I already went through the trouble of OCRing and translating them, I attached the text of the articles, both the originals and the English translations.

In issue #75 of the Apple II magazine Hardcore Computist, there is a list of tips for Prince of Persia:
https://archive.org/details/computist-s ... +Persia%22

Interestingly, parts of this article found their way onto the "Prince of Persia Hints, Tips and Tricks" page on PoPUW: https://popuw.com/tips.html
The "Basic techniques for playing the game" and "General tips for each level" sections are based on the article, with some changes.

I miss this kind of word puzzle hints, it's not super hard but they are fun and help you concentrate.
