 This seems preferable to apvog {[jiAavog) tj Tucpwvtou. V. 656 

 [.(frasi] 7r)aviKov, perhaps "the common formula in a quadrangular 

 (or rectangular) figure". Its place after the magic words is much 

 alike that of Xoyog (Preisendanz, Berl. ph. Woch. 1913, 510 sqq.),

 V. 661 cpOi/rpov z~iXc/.\'q [jt-axoc (so Wess.) xaTa cpiXwv (Ken.), the 

 love-spell consists in speaking ill of the beloved persons, a sort 

 of Sioc^oAy], of "slaunder", so commonly used in love charms. 



V. 664. Here Mr. Bell has verified my proposal to put in 

 ^uaaivov paxog and reads the line thus : Xa(3((frv) [3uaaiv[ov pa]xo? 

 yp(acps) to 7rpay;xa. V. 667 eiq t^ia-9'ov, ordinarily s~l ifiidfrou. 



V. 686 sqq. The next parallels to this invocation of the 

 Bear — dpxTixvj se. Suva^Lc or 7ipd£ig — are pap. Bibl. Nat. 1275 

 sqq. and 1331 sqq. (dpxTixTj Suvap.(,c). V. 690 svTuy^dvco aoi Sso-

 meaning "with the shining (not sharp) weapons", in harmony 

 with the previous Tropoaoo^aTs 7rpo[tpa[8(,?][xs. The same epithet 

 of the Polar Bear probably also exists in pap. Bibl. Nat. 1286
