Bind them, bind (them) thoroughly, so that they are not able to speak, but that they be bound thoroughly in every word and deed.

Lord holy angels and divine magical signs, restrain, bind thoroughly, hinder the unions and marriages of their bodies, and freeze and hinder them, and let they be stupefied, without mind, without thought, without speech, deranged, hated, ill-wedded, not obeyed by all slaves, hated by all who approach and by women, widows, maidens and girls. Bind, hinder Asklepios, whom Phadilla bore, and Photios, whom Theodοra bore, and |12 Theodosios, whom Epanagia bore, from this present day and hour for fifteen years. And let them never get release (from this curse), but always binding-spells and hindrances and grief and injury.
