[1] O Michael, Ka, Gabriel, [2] Ariēl, Raphaēl, Souriēl, [3] Rakouēl, Sehekiēl, [4] Anaēl, Alpha, Leon, [5] Anēr, Phōnē, I invoke [6] you (pl.) today by [7] your (pl.) names and your (pl.) powers [8] and your (pl.) amulets [9] ⟨of⟩ salvation, Jesus Christ, [10] to you (pl.) (?) so that as soon [11] as I shall bind these (?) [12] upon Sōliman, the son of [13] Mariham, I shall carry away every wind [14] and every pain away [Verso 1] from him, yea, yea, yea, [2] through ⟨the⟩ power ⟨of⟩ Jesus Christ!

Notes:

9. ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ The syntax here is difficult to make sense of; we suggest miscopying.
10. ⲉⲣⲟⲧⲉ This object requires a verbal construct (e.g. ϯⲱⲣⲕ) which appears to be missing, perhaps due to miscopying.
11. ⲙ̅ⲓ̅ perhaps understand ⲛⲓ[ⲣⲁⲛ] “these names” or something similar. [KD]
15. [ⲉⲃⲟⲗ] Stegemann, Till– there are no traces of a line 15 [EL]
