Translator's note. Lines 1–2 are too damaged to read (sark- may be 'flesh'); the end of line 9 is illegible. 'Of the earth' (γ̣ῆς, line 4) is a doubtful reading. The adjuration may address the fever or Michael. ἀππαλλάξ⟨ατε⟩ ('depart', plural) is completed by the editor; 'from Taiolle' renders a genitive, though the wearer is masculine in line 7. Lines 10–11 are Psalm 90(91):1.
