FREE TRANSLATION 



Now then! Right now thou haat come to listen, Yellow Pigeon; 

 where the great swampy thicket is, thou art staying; (with) the 

 Yellow Goldfinch, you two have become united. 



It is the very thing you two eat, (for) the important thing is merely 

 the "yellow." He^^ has put it under him.^^ 



Ha, you two have taken it away again, as you two passed by. It 

 is the very thing you two eat. There will be only a likeness of it 

 left, where you two have taken it to, as you passed, (and) not for a 

 night (but forever). Relief indeed has been caused. Sharply! 



EXPLANATION 



No medicine is used with this formula, the doctor simply applying 

 his hands previously warmed, as explained in No. 7, page 182. The 

 formula seems to be incomplete, and in the manuscript the latter 

 portion is written with pencil, evidently some time after the first 

 part had been written. The ceremony is repeated four times at 

 each application.
