[recto, 1] I invoke you (pl.) [2] ⟨by⟩ your great, mighty names, [3] which are these: [4] Asbiēt, Akhiēl, [5] Asphouēl, Kamous, [6] Amtatth, [7] Aflibēlize, Marmariōth! [8] I adjure you ⟨by⟩ your [9] great names and your [10] dwelling places in which you [11] dwell, that [12] you contain the bowels [verso, 1] ⟨of⟩ NN, child of NN, and his innards! [2] Galbanum, [3] sweat [3] of a honey bee, centaurium (?). |

| Notes: | Recto 12. ⲉⲧⲉⲧ̅ⲛ̅ⲱⲗ̣’ “Contain” seems unexpected in reference to internal organs; it is usually used in reference to blood, so may refer to healing internal bleeding. We might also understand a mistaken writing of ⲗⲟ (“heal”). |
