[16] I adjure you, O holy phylactery [17] by your name and your power and [18] your holy kharaktēres and the places [19] from which you were taken and the seal [20] of Solomon which has the name of the invisible [21] Father written on it, that as soon as [22] I will bind you to the neck of Antreas, [23] the son of Esi, you will heal his uvula [24] in haste and quickly, so that it is withdraws [25] up into its place as it was before, in the name [26] of Abrasakxsakx, now, now, quickly, [27] quickly, heal!
