The great magician, restrain your strength (?).

The witch who has caused the evil may be unknown. For such a case one of the incantations runs:[401]

Who art thou, sorceress, who bears her evil word within her heart,

Through whose tongue my misfortune is produced,

Through whose lips I have been poisoned,

In whose footsteps death follows?

Sorceress, I seize thy mouth, seize thy tongue,

I seize thy searching eyes,

I seize thy ever-moving feet,

I seize thy knees ever active,
