A Bowl from Mesopotamia or Persia

[By] your name I make this amulet that it may be a healing to this one, for the threshold [of the house . . . and any possession which] he has. I bind the rocks of the earth, and tie down the mysteries of heaven, I suppress them . . . I rope, tie, and suppress all demons and harmful spirits, all those which are in the world, whether masculine or feminine, from their big ones to their young ones, from their children to their old ones, whether I know his name or I do not know it. In case I do not know the name, it has already been explained to me at the time of the seven days of creation. What has not been disclosed to me at the time of the seven days of creation was disclosed to me in the deed of divorce that came here from across the sea, which was written and sent to Rabbi Yehoshua‘ bar Peraḥya. Just as there was a lilith who strangled human beings, and Rabbi Yehoshua‘ bar Peraḥya sent a ban against her, but she did not accept it because he did not know her name; and her name was written in the deed of divorce and an announcement was made against her in heaven by a deed of divorce that came here from across the sea; so you too are roped, tied, and suppressed, all of you under the feet of this Marnaqa son of Qala. In the name of Gabriel, the mighty hero, who kills all heroes who are victorious in battle, and in the name of Yeho’el who shuts the mouth of all [heroes]. In the name of Yah, Yah, Yah, Sabaoth. Amen, Amen, Selah.
