[p. 14 l. 14] O creatures rising [15] with the moon, come to me! [16] Listen to my adjuration [17] which is their great names, [18] Aram, Aram, Arimatha, [19] Aioutha, Athaēl! O great [20] shining cherubim, [21] rising with the sun, [22] come to me! Listen [23] to my adjuration, Arakha, [24] Arakha, Arakhaēl! O [25] creatures rising up with [26] the stars of heaven in the [p. 15 l. 1] east, come [2] to me today! Listen [3] to my adjuration, [4] Araēl, Araēl, Aratakhaēl, [5] Ouriēl, Arakhaēl! [6] O creatures rising up [7] with the light, come [8] to me! Listen to my [9] adjuration, Amanaēl, [10] Amaraēl, Nanoēl, [11] …ēl, Ananiēl! O creatures [12] rising up with the sun, [13] come! Listen to my [14] adjuration, Atha, Atha, [15] Athaēl! O creatures [16] rising up with the great star, [17] come to me! Listen [18] to my adjuration, Ēr, [19] Ēr, Ēr, Ēr, Ēr, Ēr, Ēr! O [20] creatures rising up, [21] serving the seven [22] archangels, come [23] to me! Listen to my [24] adjuration, Arimatha, [25] Marinthaēl, Edekiēl! [26] O creatures who come from heaven, [27] being under the authority [p. 16 l. 1] of the Father, listen to my [2] adjuration, Manouēl, [3] Manouēl, Semanouēl, [4] Manouēl, the four gates [5] of the Heavenly Jerusalem! [6] Come to me today! [7] Listen to my adjuration!
[8] I adjure you by the first [9] gate of heaven, that [10] of the north, with all the creatures [11] who stand [12] praising the name [of] [13] the Lord, the Father of [14] the whole world, Adōnai, [15] Elōei, Elemas, Sabaoth! [16] These are their names: Ēr, Ēr, Ēr, [17] Ēr, Ēr, Ēr, Ēr. O creatures [18] coming from the gate of the south, [19] come to me and to my [20] adjuration, Maroutha, [21] Maroutha, Marouthaēl! [22] O creatures rising up [23] in the gate of the east, [24] come to me today! [25] Listen to my humble word, [26] Aratha, Aratha, [27] Arathaēl, Anatēl, [28] Manouēl, Edekiēl! O [29] creatures rising in the [p. 17 l. 1] gate of the west, [2] come to me, listen to [3] my humble word, [4] Akhaēl, Aēl, Manouēl, [5] Edekiēl, Sntaēl, [6] Kheroubin, Kherinaēl, [7] Sarinaēl, Arinataēl! O [8] cherubim and seraphim [9] who stand before the [10] face of Christ, come to [11] me today!

Listen to my [12] adjuration, O creatures [13] of the archangels, Michael, [14] Gabriel, Raphael, [15] Uriel, Sedekiēl, [16] Anael, Setēl, Azaēl, [17] those who stand in the presence [18] of he who dwells in [19] heavens, the seven names [20] worthy of hearing; they that, [21] when any among the angels [22] and all his living creatures [23] name them, [24] the earth trembles, [25] the mountains shake, the [26] waters rejoice on account of the [27] great light of his name: [28] Adonai, Elōei, Alphamiēl, [p. 18 l. 1] his great name and his [2] true name!

I adjure you [3] by his great name, [4] every creature which will pronounce [5] this adjuration, so that [6] you will destroy the whole power [7] of the Devil, and [8] you will undo every bond [9] and ⟨every⟩ violence that has come about [10] through them! Let my [11] demand be fulfilled when [12] my adjuration will be read, [13] before ⟨another⟩ hour comes, [14] furthermore, after this, I will pluck out [15] the roots of Satan [16] and all the bonds [17] of the Devil, and [18] my prayer will be accomplished through [19] your name, O Lord Sabaoth [20] Elōei, Elōei, [21] Elōei, Iaō, Eiaōh, Eiaō, [22] Sabaoth, Hrabounei— [23] which is interpreted [24] as “teacher”— the one in whom all [25] creatures of the angels and the archangels [27] rejoice, saying: “Holy, holy, [p. 19 l. 1] holy, Lord Sabaoth, [2] the heavens and the earth are full [3] of your glory and your blessing!”

[4] Rejoice, [5] all you creatures, for the Lord [6] rose from the dead [7] on the third [8] day and he freed [9] the entire race of Adam, [10] and he despoiled the Jews, who were [11] ashamed of what they [12] had done, and he met his [13] disciples and gave them the [14] good news, the great Alpha [15] who is established over all these things. [16] I invoke [17] you that you stand [18] with me [19] today and fulfil [20] that which is good [21] in my heart! Let them be ashamed, [22] those who love the [23] Devil and fall down before [24] this prayer. [25] Every evil spirit, [26] every unclean spirit, [27] every sorcery, every impiety! [28] Withdraw yourselves; it is Christ Jesus who chases [p. 20 l. 1] you away!

[p. 20 l. 1] O Blood of [2] Christ, guard everyone who [3] carries this prayer! [4] The Holy Trinity is [5] with us all, amen.

Notes:

p. 15

14. ⲁⲑ̅ⲁ̅ · ⲁⲑ̅ⲁ̅ : “Atha Atha” Pleyte translates “Atha” only once.
25. ⲉⲇⲉⲕⲓ̅ⲏⲗ : “Edekiēl” Understood as “Sedekiel” by Pleyte/Boeser, Pleyte, Kropp, Smith, and Lexa.
26–27. ⲛⲓ̅ⲥⲱⲛⲧ ⲛ ⲉⲧⲛⲓ̅ ϩ̅ⲛ̅ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲉϥ̣ϣⲟⲟ̣ⲡ̣ ⲉϥ̣ϣⲟⲟ̣ⲡ̣ ϩⲁ ⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓ̅ⲁ ⲧⲉⲝⲟⲩⲥⲓ̅ⲁ : Pleyte translates “O Beings who are in heaven … under the power of” (“O Êtres qui êtes au ciel … sous la puissance”), Smith translates “O creatures who … in heaven, who … under the authority”, Kropp translates “You creatures, you … in heaven, slaughtered? , under the power” (“Ihr Geschöpfe, die ihr … in den Himmel, geschlachtet? , unter der Macht”), and Lexa translates “beings, who are in heaven, being accredited with the power”(“êtres, qui êtes au ciel, étant accrédités de la puissance”).

p. 16

2–4. ⲙⲁⲛⲟⲩ̅ⲏ̅ⲗ ⲙⲁⲛⲟⲩ̅ⲏ̅ⲗ : ⲙⲁⲛⲟⲩⲏ̅ⲗ ⲙⲁⲛⲟⲩⲏ̅ⲗ · ⲥⲉⲙⲁⲛⲟⲩⲏⲗ ⲥⲉⲙⲁⲛⲟⲩⲏⲗ ⲙⲁⲛⲟⲩⲏ̅ⲗ̅ ⲙⲁⲛⲟⲩⲏ̅ⲗ̅ : These names are probably to be understood as deriving from Emmanuel, from Hebrew עמנואל (Īmmānū’ēl, “God is with us”), from Isaiah 7.14: “Behold, the virgin will become pregnant and she will give birth to a boy, and they will call him ‘Emmanuel’ (ⲉⲓⲥ ⲧⲡⲁⲣⲑⲉⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲱⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥϫⲡⲟ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲙⲙⲁⲛⲟⲩⲏⲗ; Bąk 2020: 536). In Matthew 1.22–23 this prophecy is explicitly made to refer to Jesus, so that ‘Emmanuel’ can be understood as another name of Jesus. The form ‘Manouēl’ may have arisen from a reanalysis in Coptic in which the initial ⲉ is understood as part of ϫⲉ. Manouēl is also found as a name of Jesus in p. 17 l. 4 of this manuscript, as well as PCM I 12 p. 31 l. 8, p. 37 l. 8; PCM I 25 p. 17 ll. 34–35; PCM I 26 p. 12 l. 13; BL Ms Or. 6796 (Kropp 1931: I no. H; KYP M118) l. 21; P.Bad. V 123 (KYP M315) front l. 41; EES 39 5B.125/A (KYP M280) l. 19; P.Macq. I 1 (KYP M167) p. 2 l. 16; P.Vindob K 8301 (Stegemann 1934: no. 45; KYP M 364) l. 6. ‘Emmanuel’ also appears in full in e.g., PCM I 25 p. 11 l. 6; P.Lond.Copt. 1223 (KYP M553) l. 10; P.Macq. I 1 (KYP M167) p. 1 l. 14; P.Stras. K 204 + 205 + 282 §2.27 l. 8 (Hevesi 2018; KYP M92). Compare also the name ‘Methemōn’, based on the Greek translation of the name in Matthew 1.23, for which see PCM I 25 p. 11 l. 6. Ortal-Paz Saar points out that Semanouēl might be understood as a writing of the Hebrew אל שמענו) šəmāʿēnû ʾēl “hear us, God”).
22. ⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ : Lexa hesitantly translates “descend” (“descendez en bas(?)”)

p. 17

28–29. ⲁⲗⲫⲁⲙ̅ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲗ̅ : We are grateful to Agnes Mihálykó for her suggestion to understand this as a single angelic name built upon the Greek word “alpha”, in reference to the Lord God’s self-identification as alpha and omega in Revelation 1.8; cf. p. 19 ll. 14–15 of this manuscript.

p. 18

11-14. ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲱϣ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲉⲝⲟⲣⲅⲓ̅ⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁⲓ̅ⲧⲓ̅ ⲙ̅ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ This passage is difficult to translate; perhaps understand “before an hour (‹ⲟⲩⲟ›ⲩⲛⲟⲩ) has passed”, although we have been unable to find an instance of ϣⲱⲡⲉ being used to describe an hour passing rather than coming; cf. Crum CD 484b, which would lead us to expect ϫⲱⲕ for the sense “to pass”, and Luke 22.14: “when the time came…” (ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ϣⲱⲡⲉ; Horner 1911: II 410). Cf. perhaps the copy of the Prayer of Mary in BKU I 6 l. 22–25 (KYP M119): “I invoke your names… before the hour comes and you are distant, so that I might undo the bonds of the Adversary” (ⲧⲓ̈ⲱⲣⲉⲕ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛ̣ⲣⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ϣ̣ⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲉⲟⲩⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲓ̈ ⲛⲧⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲉⲙⲏⲣⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲡⲁⲛⲧⲓ̈ⲕⲓ̈ⲙⲉⲛ̣[ⲟⲥ]).
22-24. ϩ̅ⲣ̅ⲁⲃⲟⲩⲛⲉⲓ̈ ⲡⲉⲧⲉϣⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲙⲉϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲥⲁϩ cf. John 20.16: “she (Mary Magdalene) said in Hebrew, “Rabbounei”, which is interpreted as ‘teacher’” (ⲡⲉϫⲁⲥ ⲙⲙⲛⲧϩⲉⲃⲣⲁⲓⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲣⲁⲃⲃⲟⲩⲛⲉⲓ ⲡⲉϣⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲙⲉϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲥⲁϩ; Quecke 1984: 213).

p. 19
3–4. ϩ̅ⲙ ⲡⲉⲕⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲕⲉⲟⲟⲩ · ⲙ̅ⲛ̅ ⲡⲉⲕⲥ̅ⲙ̅ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲕⲥ̅ⲙ̅ⲟⲩ : The Sanctus usually ends with the phrase “your glory” (Greek δόξης σου, Coptic ⲡⲉⲕⲉⲟⲟⲩ). The ending “your blessing” added here seems to attest to a variant also found in the sixth/seventh century BM EA 54036 (Quecke 1971; for the date see Mihálykó 2019: 294), a Coptic copy of the Anaphora of Mark containing the end of the reprise of the Sanctus by the priest. In this reprise “your blessing” (ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲙⲟⲩ) replaces “your glory” (ⲡⲉⲕⲉⲟⲟⲩ) at the end of the Sanctus, perhaps anticipating the following request to “fill this offering too… with your blessing” (ⲙⲉϩ ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲟⲛ : ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩ̅ⲙ̅ ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲙⲟⲩ). The inclusion of both here may imply that the composer of this text was aware of this variant and chose to harmonise it with the more common “your glory”. Note that the version here combines the Greek and Coptic versions of the Sanctus. We are very grateful to Ágnes Mihálykó for suggesting this possibility to us.
14–15. ⲡⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲗⲫⲁ : Pleyte translates “he, the great Alpha”, Lexa translates similarly (“lui le grand Alpha”).
15–16. ⲉⲧⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ⲉⲧⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ⲉϫⲛ̅ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ : Smith translates “that is stronger than anything”, but the comparative would be expressed with ⲉ-/ⲉⲣⲟ⸗; cf. Crum CD 463a, and, for example, Sirach 22.18: “a heart established by a wise thought will never be afraid” (ⲟⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲉϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ⲉϫⲛ̅ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲛϥⲛⲁⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛⲉϩ; de Lagarde 1883: 144).
16-18. ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙ̅ⲙ̅ⲱⲧⲛ̅ · ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧ̅ⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈ : Smith translates “ I invoke you to stand with me”, Lexa translates similarly (“afin que vous vous teniez auprès de moi”)
27. Pleyte omits this line in his translation.

p. 20

1–2 ⲡⲉⲥⲛⲟϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉ-ⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉ-ⲭ̅ⲥ̅ : The ‘blood of Christ’ (sometimes mentioned alongside his ‘body’) is commonly invoked in both amuletic and liturgical texts, referring simultaneously to the blood spilled during the crucifixion and its representation in the eucharistic ritual; for a recently discussion see Chepel 2017.

Pleyte/Boeser use the sign = to indicate words which continue over multiple lines, but these are found in the codex. Due to the complexity of this text, we do not note minor divergences between our reading and that of Pleyte and Boeser, e.g., letters dotted in only one edition, a supralinear stroke marked in place of diaeresis, etc.; we do however note where letters are restored in one edition but not the other, or where punctuation is noted for a letter in one edition but not the other.
