1928] THE GREEK MAGICAL PAPYRI IN THE BRIT. MUS. 
15 
Mr. Bell founcl verified in the pap., he read é7v[Tal[jLu^ov, 
as indicated above. Mr. Bell reads the following line in this 
way: £Aau;^viov [aTrlo ttAolou. (Wess.s £AAu/vt,a aTro, excellent as 
to meaning, is not in the pap.). V. 596: commonly the order 
of the invoked deities in this formula is: laoj llapaojh AStovai. 
The same inaccuracy of the scribe or the author is seen in v. 
603, where he should have written: Iv a^/jpxpov Iv 
xp-zi ojpy.. V. 605 the three cries of Sabaoth are enigmatic; from 
Greek mythology we know of the famous cries of Persephone 
when carried away by Hades, from Egyptian mythology the cries 
of Isis at the murder of Osiris. But we here also e. g. of the 
cries of Ra, when bitten by the scorpion. The number three 
shows that there lies good tradition behind the “cries of Sabaoth”. 
The third cry in the folktales is the strongest and brings the 
help. V. 611 Slo regressive assimilation of £. 
V. 612 uTTvou [JL7] Tvy/dvovaav the scribe ought to have written. 
V. 613 £3C[jt. [jt.£v 6 TrpwTog Au)(^vo; jiTugi] (Kroll, Wilcken) “if the 
first wick sputters (so Anthol. Pal. VI 333), then you must know 
that the demon has taken hold of the beloved girl — if the 
second one (sc. sputters), she has already left her home” etc. 
As to Aa[jLP(av£Lv cp. pap. Bibl. Nat. 62 £7rav£Ai)£ IttI tov tottov

The meaning is quite clear: if you place the lamp into a small 
Nileboat and then put this into a basin of water (the lamp 
in this way becoming a sort of a Sun boat), then you are 
able to draw beloved girls to you even from beyond the sea 
(SiaTTovTwug, as Ken. read). The text is: (viz. the ayory/] 
acr/£Tog) Sl x.al SLaTTovTioug' iva (with subj. as in modern Greek,

the drift of the meaning of the sentence.
