Translator's note. A fragmentary amulet. Underdotted letters in the edition are doubtful, including parts of 'I adjure' (1.1, 1.3). In 1.3 the scribe wrote and deleted the misspelling ὀκκίζω, kept here as ⟦okkizō⟧. The word ends -son, -gmous, -an.., -ōros, -kess- and '.louan' (2.2) cannot be identified. '.λ.βεν' (2.1–2) is read doubtfully as ἔλαβεν, 'took'. 2.5: 'you' is plural and the verb 'harm' singular, as written; 'ser[vant]' is feminine.
