Supplementum Magicum, Suppl. Mag. 45: Erotic charm (applied love spell to bind Euphemia, daughter of Dorothea, for Theon, son of Proechia)

δεσμεύω σε δεσμοῖς ἀλύτοις Μοίρας χθονίου καὶ τῆς κραταιᾶς Ἀνάγκης, ὅτι ἐξορκίζω

I bind you with the unbreakable bonds of Fate beneath the earth and of mighty Necessity, because I adjure

ὑμᾶς, δαίμονες, τοὺς ἐνθάδε κειμένους καὶ ἐνθάδε διατρεφομένους καὶ ἐνθάδε διατρίβοντας

you, daimones [spirits of the dead], who lie here and are fed here and spend your time here,

καὶ τοὺς ἐνθάδε κούρους ἀώρους. ἐξορκίζω ὑμᾶς κατὰ τοῦ ἀνικήτο-

and the youths here who died before their time. I adjure you by the uncon-

υ θεοῦ Ϊαω* Βαρβαθια̣ω̣* βριμιαω* χερμαρι* ἐγείρεσθαι δαίμονες, οἱ ἐνθάδε

quered god Iaō Barbathiaō brimiaō chermari: rise up, daimones, you who here

κείμενοι, καὶ ζητήσατε Εὐφημίαν, ἣν ἔτεκεν Δωροθέα, Θέων⟨ι⟩, ᾧ ἔτεκεν Προεχία·

lie, and seek out Euphemia, whom Dorothea bore, for Theon, whom Proechia bore;

δι’ ὅλης νυκτὸς ὕπνου μὴ δυνη̣θ̣ῇ̣ τυχεῖν, ἀλλὰ ἄξατε αὐτήν, ἕως ἔλθῃ εἰς πόδας

the whole night through let her not be able to get sleep, but bring her, until she comes to the feet

αὐτοῦ ἐρῶσα ἔρωτα μανιώδη καὶ στοργὴν καὶ συνουσία⟨ν⟩. ἔδησα γὰρ αὐτῆς

of him, in love with a frenzied love, and with affection and intercourse. For I have bound her

τὸν ἐγκέφαλον καὶ τὰς χεῖρας καὶ τὰ ὑποχόνδρια καὶ τὴν φύσιν καὶ τὴν

brain and hands and abdomen and genitals and

καρδίαν πρὸς φιλίαν ἐμοῦ Θέωνος. ἐὰν δὲ παρακούσητε καὶ μὴ ταχέ-

heart to love of me, Theon. But if you disobey and do not quick-

ως τελέσητε ὃ λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐ δύνεται ὁ ἥλιος ὑπὸ γῆν, οὔτε ὁ Ἅιδης

ly accomplish what I tell you, the sun does not sink beneath the earth, and neither Hades

οὔτε ὁ κόσμος οὐκ ἔστιν. ἐὰν δὲ ἄξητέ μοι Εὐφημίαν, ἣν ἔτεκεν Δωροθέα

nor the world exists. But if you bring me Euphemia, whom Dorothea bore,

, ἐμοὶ Θέωνι, ᾧ ἔτεκεν Προεχία, δώσω ὑμῖν Ὄσιριν Νοφριωθ*

to me, Theon, whom Proechia bore, I will give you Osiris Nophriōth,

τὸν ἀδελφὸν τῆς Ἴσιδος, καὶ αἴρει τὸ ψυχρὸν ὕδωρ καὶ ἀναπαύσεται

the brother of Isis, and he brings the cold water and will give rest to

ὑμῶν τὰς ψυχάς. ἐ[ὰ]ν δέ μοι μὴ τελέσητε ἃ λέγω ὑμῖν, κατακαύσει ὑμᾶς

your souls. But i[f] you do not accomplish for me what I tell you, there will burn you up

ὁ Εωνεβυωθ* ἐξορκίζω ὑμᾶς, δαίμονες, οἱ ἐνθάδε κείμενοι ιεω*

Eōnebyōth. I adjure you, daimones, who lie here: ieō

ιιιιαϊα* ηϊα* ϊαω* ιαη* ιαω* αλιλαμψ* κατατίθημι ὑμῖν εἰς τὴν γῆν

iiiiaia ēia iaō iaē iaō alilamps. I lay [this] down for you in the earth

τῶν κυνῶν· Εὐφημίαν πρὸς φιλίαν ἐμοῦ Θέωνος δεσμεύσατε,

of the dogs. Bind Euphemia to love of me, Theon,

δάιμονες· ἐναρῶ ὑμῖν εἰς τῆν τῶν θεῶν στήλην, ἐναρῶ ὑμῖν κατὰ τῶν ἐν ἀδύ-

daimones. I adjure you by the stele of the gods, I adjure you by those in the inner sanc-
