I will do for thee the parapage (?) of birds (?) (7) like the voice of Isis, the sorceress (?), the mistress of sorcery (?), who bewitches (?) everything and is not bewitched (?)

(12) Isis (and) Osiris (and) the great Agathodaemon have drunk from thee; the three gods have drunk, I have drunk (13) after them myself; for, dost thou make me drunk? Dost thou make me suffer shipwreck? Dost thou make me perish? (14) dost thou cause me confusion? Dost thou cause me to be vexed of heart? Dost thou cause my mouth (15) to speak blasphemy? May I be healed of all poison pus (and) venom which have been ...ed to my heart; (16) when I drink thee, may I cause them to be cast up in the name of Sarbitha, the daughter (17) of the Agathodaemon; for I am Sabra, Briatha, Brisara, Her (18) is my name. I am Horus Sharon (?) when he comes from receiving acclamation (?), Yaho, (19) the child is my name as my real name.' (Pronounced) to a cup of wine (20) and you put (sic) fresh rue and put it to it; and you make invocation to it seven times, and make (21) the man drink it in the morning before he has eaten.

[Spell] spoken to the man, when a bone has stuck (22) in his throat. 'Thou art Shlate, Late, Balate, (23) the white crocodile, which is under (?) the ... of the sea of fire, whose belly (24) is full of bones of every drowned man.

Seven times. You make invocation to a little oil. You (29) put the face of the man upwards and put it (the oil) down into his mouth, and place your finger and (30) your nail [to the?] two muscles (?) of his throat; you make him swallow the oil and make him (31) start up suddenly, and you eject the oil which is in his throat immediately; (32) then the bone comes up with the oil.

(is he) (?) at whom thou hast filled thy mouth; hearken to this speech. Horus who didst heal burning pain (?), who didst go to the abyss, (39) who didst found the Earth, listen, O Yaho, Sabaho, Abiaho by name.' You cleanse (?) the wound, you pound (40) salt with ...; apply it to him. Another: You pound rue with honey, apply it; you say it also to a cup of water and make him drink it (?).
