[11] A hatred, to put it between a man and [12] a woman. Take for yourself the hair from the head of the woman [13] and the earth from her right foot. Burn them in [14] a fire. Put it down into the cup that [15] the man drinks from and anoint [16] the rim (?) of the cup with a little ⟨of it⟩. The man will hate the woman. [17] It is finished. |

| Notes: | 16. ⲉⲱⲛⲧϥ ⲉⲑⲟⲙⲉ If ⲉⲱⲛⲧϥ is understood as ϣⲁⲛⲧϥ this would literally mean “the nose of the cup”; Drescher suggests this refers to the “lip” (or “nozzle” or “spout”) of the cup, comparing Greek μυκτήρ and Latin nasus. |
