Description | P.Lond.Copt. I 1223 Charm by an unnamed woman against another woman (possibly future daughter-in-law) in Coptic (A) beseeching the help of God Allmighty, archangels, 24 elders, and four animals to bring down ailment, suffering, and sickness on the latter. Recto: the text runs across the fibres, in an uneven and clumsy hand; staurogram in the left margin of l. 1.; Verso: series of three crosses and three staurograms. The text is seen in association with the archive of texts P.Louvre E 11036A, P.Louvre E 11036B, P.Aberdeen, and P.IFAO copte 449; possibly linked is also P.IFAO copte 451, though slightly different. |
