[No. 3 
spelling (probably 'Op^Lxov was written ’()p9£Lx6v, and this £ 
again was pronounced a) does not make it probable that the ’()pcpr/.a 
were rather familiar to the scribe (or the author). 
V. 454 Tov '/.(XTO)'ov xaT(xB£(7[jLov 6 av izoifig is a rather 
inaccurate summing up of the different usages to which the 
formula may be employed (V. 429 sqq.). xal ouTojg xaTaTii>£TaL 
(= xaTop6a’C7£Taq v. 450) = z7zzi'zcc x. 
V. 455 TO u't 6 [[ao]]y£iov (Ken. however accents uToAoyiov in 
his Index), see Kroll, Phil. 54,564. The sense is: '/] yap cj£Ar^v/],

(viz. the binding of 365 knots on the black string) SLa[x£v£i; the 
subject of SLa[x£V£t must be “every thing found by the Moon on her 
way”. V. 457: “every day you have to pronounce the following 
sentence on the same spot”, IttI tou totoo toutou, where the 
is buried. Then the spot, not the Moon, is addressed in the fol¬ 
lowing words: [xv] [jl£ SiSou ([jt,'/]§£)v[ (or t^ I]£A'/jVY], pro¬ 
nounce ^z\(ri) £6prj(7£L[[c]] yap <([x£) [x£Ta tttoaXoo xajjiaToo; after 
xa[jt,aToi» is written ) ) —, but this is perhaps merely a blunder 
for i) , i. e. N£X'/jv7j: the plate speaks through the mouth of 
the magician. 
V. 456 we have perhaps to correct y£vo[jL£voo into A£yo[j!.£voi) 
(better than y£Lvo[x£voo); the Xoyog is the essential element in 
this magic procedure, and we here expect the present time, not 
the future. 
V. 459 Ken. correctly ■)( = yapaxTvjpac as in the repetition 
of the philtre V. 462. V. 460 uTrIp ^octov (Wess. Ken.) I think 
rather enigmatic; probably ovrlp ttoctov (so that the beloved one 
may pass over it?) V. 462 IttI Aa[jLv(a;) xaacnT£p(iv7j^), not acc. 
as Wess. meant. As to V. 463 huTLacrag, i. e. ouTiacrag, s. Preisen-

V. 478 '/] T, probably r^S’; the Theocritean word ’EptoTuA£ may 
have caused the use of the epic tiSI here; then £7:LC7aA£u(jov “stir
