English for the 3 passages of this work that the Atlas of Ancient Myth, Magic in the Ancient Texts and a study of demons and angels quote or cite, and which the library holds in no published English. The numbers are the edition's own references.
1.13
pꜣ ḫpš Stẖ r =k pꜣ sꜣ~mꜥ-nꜣ pꜣ k⸢ꜣtp⸣ ⸢n[,j]⸣ Bꜥ~jrʾ m ḏꜣḏꜣ =k pꜣ [sꜣ]~mꜥ~nꜣ pꜣ ḥmt n[,j] Ḥr,w m wp,t =k
The scimitar of Seth is against you, O samana; the kꜣtp of Baal is on your head, O samana; the copper of Horus is on your brow.
Translator's note. kꜣtp is partly damaged and unexplained; evidently a weapon, perhaps a foreign word. sꜣmꜥnꜣ (samana) is a disease demon.
1.72–1.75
jn-jw nn rḫ =k wj pꜣ sꜣ~mꜥw~nꜣ
Do you not know me, O samana-demon?
m =k ⸢m⸣ ⸢Mꜥ⸣w~rʾ~jꜣ rḫ wj r-ḏd
See, it is Mauria(?) who knows me, namely:
n[,j] w⸢j⸣ tꜣ dny n[,j.t] J~jrʾ~tj~q[ꜣ]~[n]ꜣ nꜣ n,tj ḥr mdwi̯.t m-ꜥ n⸢ꜣ⸣-n ḥfꜣ,w.pl n,tj ḥr ẖdb nꜣ-n [ḥ]f⸢ꜣ⸣,w nꜣ-n jri̯ ꜥḏn pꜣ ṯꜣw n[,j] Qj~tʾ~y tꜣy =sn m[w],t
'I belong to the dny of Iratiqana(?), those who speak with the snakes, who slay the snakes, who put an end to the breath of Qiti(?), their mother.'
m =k znq.n =j m mnd.w.pl n[,j.w] ꜥntj tꜣ ꜥm~rʾ~y ꜥꜣ.t n[,j].t Stẖ
See, I have sucked at the breasts of Anat, the great ꜥmry of Seth.
Translator's note. sꜣmꜥnꜣ (samana) is a disease demon with a foreign name. Mauria, Iratiqana and Qiti are foreign names, vocalised by guess; ⸢m⸣ before Mauria is damaged and its function is unclear. dny is obscure (perhaps 'share' or a foreign word). ꜥntj is taken as the goddess Anat, consort of Seth; ꜥmry is unexplained, perhaps a Semitic word (possibly 'Amorite woman').
2.52
pꜣ ꜥḫ,w pꜣ ⸢n,tj⸣ ⸢ḥr⸣ [wnm] jw =f hrp.w pꜣ jwjw wšꜥ qs.pl
The ꜥḫw, the one who is [eating], while he is sunk down, the dog that gnaws bones!
Translator's note. ꜥḫw is a disease demon or affliction, otherwise unidentified. hrp 'submerge, sink' is taken in a passive sense; the line's syntax is uncertain.
