COL. XXII
x43
to the wine, (35) I send thee ; wilt thou go on my
errand ? Wilt thou do it ? Thou sayest, " Send me to
the thirsty, that his thirst may be quenched, and to the
canal that it may be dried up, and to the sand of the
snyt that it may be scattered without (36) wind, and to
the papyrus of Buto that the blade may be applied to it,
while Horus is saved for (?) Isis, catastrophes grow great
for the Egyptians, so that not a man or woman is left in
their midst." I (37) send thee; do like unto these;
I send thee down to the heart of N. born of N. and
do thou make fire in her body, flame in her entrails, put
the madness to her heart, (38) the fever (?) to her flesh;
let her make the pursuit of the " Shoulder "-constellation
after the " Hippopotamus "-constellation ; let her make
(39) the movements of the sunshine after the shadow,
she following after N. born of N. to every place in which
he is, she loving him, she being mad for him, she not
knowing the place of the earth in which (40) she is.
Take away her sleep by night; give her lamentation
and anxiety by day ; let her not eat, let her not drink,
let her not sleep, let her not sit under (41) the shade of
her house until she follow (?) him to every place in which
he is, her heart forgetting, her eye flying, her glance
turned (?), she not knowing the place (42) of the earth
in which she is, until she see him, her eye after his eye,
her heart after his heart, her hand after his hand, she
giving to him every Let fly (?) the tip of her feet
(43) after his heels in the street at all times without fail
at any time. Quick (bis), hasten (bis).'
Col. XXII.
(1) Behold! (spell?) of the name of the Great-of-Five
which they pronounce to every spirit. There is none
Col. XXII.
1. 1. No more than the heading has been written. It can hardly refer
to the spell in 2/25.
