V. 703 ovstpaLTTiTov' Yp(a(j;ov) or Yp(a 9 £) — then \ve see the 
first half of a T or .t (the stroke from yp continues above this 
letter and must not mislead us). Perhaps tIocte], cp. v. 703, 
although there does not seem to be space enough for three 
letters wanting; certainly xaSs would be too long for the 
lacuna. But we may also think of an abbreviation like 7ro(L7][j(.a) 
— TTpa^tg (v. 643), but not a6(yov) — åjv x^P^T] V. 709 
Yp(a^ov) a6(yov)' l£couco 7] etc., as indicated v. 722, where we have 
to supply the lacuna with just the same XoYog: 
/i£ co u C 07 ] a r/] Laojv] u co £ l

these vowels we have — according to this indication of the 
author — to write out in this way:

The magic name contains in fact 30 letters (v. 708 is i» put in, 
but (j left out), also in v. 717 and 718 (palindromicaly repeated 
V. 719). Wessely wrongly takes aco into the number; I do not 
see as yet what it means — the repetition of the seven vowels 
from the first to the last (cp. v. 706 to ovo[jLa tcov ^') 
or the palindromic repetition of the word preceding? V. 710 
Xpx[xaTL<TXT£ — p£[3aio3g xal dia iiv}jfir]g “so that I may remember 
it when again awake”. V. 724 yp(^9^) u7z6'/.ziT(oii) xal ttjv

£v vqhAx) 07:6 Oe; 67:6 t6v Aoxvov to TrliTTaxiojv. The word 
following TT^v seems to begin with x or i (xAvja-Lv is too long 
for the lacuna, perhaps it was abbreviated). I feel sure that 
the letter following tov Auxvov t6 was not v (otherwise we might 
supply TOV 7:apax£ivov, xxh'/jp.£p(.v6v sim.), it must have been tz 
or T. V. 736: we expect ou Se ttuiIoo 7:£pl ou HeXecc xal Sta
