151.2.1
Γυναῖκα κύκλον γράψασαν καὶ τὰ φάρμακα θεῖσαν εἰσβῆναι εἰς τὸν κύκλον, αὐτὴν καὶ τὸν υἱόν, εἶτα μιμεῖσθαι τὴν φωνὴν τοῦ θηρίου· τὸ δ’ ἀντᾴδειν καὶ προσιέναι. Ἅἰδόντος δὲ καταδαρθεῖν τὴν γυναῖκα, καὶ ἐγγυτέρω προσιόντος μᾶλλον, ὥστς μὴ δύνασθαι κρατεῖν τοῦ ὕπνου.
[They say that] a woman, having drawn a circle and set down the drugs, stepped into the circle, herself and her son, and then imitated the voice of the beast; and it sang back in answer and approached. As it sang, the woman fell asleep, and more so as it came nearer, so that she could not master her sleep.
