[24] Iamlikhos, Martianos, Marximos, Antinias, [25] Ebsaimēs, Ouasik, Marouer, I adjure you (f.s.), Tapkeh! [26] I adjure ⟨you⟩, Thapas! I adjure ⟨you⟩, Thapaoh, who are evil, [27] that you you go out of God’s creature! [28] The Lord said with his own mouth, [29] “You will not enter the creature!” If you are disobedient [30] to me, I shall seal your mouth with a bridle, [31] and I will place a bond (?) on your mouth, and I will send you to the deserts (?), yea, yea! [32] ooooooooooo ōōōōōōōōōōōōō [33] ō, aaaaaaa, [34] eeeeeee, [35] ɘɘɘɘɘɘɘ |
