nû. in nomine sancti spiritus

Translator's note. carnanx odia ... samsodina are kept as words of power. '..u. ach', 'ir', '..tw' and '.u.' are unexplained, perhaps abbreviations or damage; left as they stand. gast ('guest, stranger') seems to address the worm. eiter may be 'pus' rather than 'poison'.
