From the Paris magical codex (Ms. Suppl. gr. 574)
Translated by A. Deissmann (1910)
Read by Dan Attrell
This ritual is drawn from a papyrus book from Egypt, composed circa 300 AD. The book contains the prescriptions of a Late Antique magician, and the following ritual full of divine names is drawn from Folio 33, line 2993 onwards. You can also find this ritual in Hans Dieter Betz's more up-to-date and accurate translation (PGM, p. 95-97), wherein he rightly splits the operation into two separate sections, a pagan root-cutting ritual beginning on the previous folio, and the exorcism prayer by the magician Pibechis.
