(26) and put them into a lok of glass; you close its mouth very carefully for twenty days in a hidden dark place; after
(27) twenty days you take it forth, you open it; then you find a pair (?) of testicles and a phallus inside it; you leave it for forty days; and you take it
(28) forth; you open it; then you find that it has become bloody; you must put it into something of glass, and you put the glass thing into a pottery (thing)
(29) in a place hidden at all times. When you wish to make a divination (?) by the lamp with it, you fill your eyes with this blood aforesaid, you proceed to lie down,

(33) by inquiry of thelamp, this also is the form, it is also profitable for(?) the divination of Muribai. If you do it
(34) by vessel-inquiry of the lamp, you fill the lamp aforesaid on a new brick; you make the boy stand upright
(35) before the lamp, he having his face covered; you recite to his head, standing over him, this Greek invocation; when you have finished, you uncover (36) his face, then he answers you truthfully.

(5) of oil to it; you place it on the ground; you light a bronze lamp; you put it on the ground by the bronze vessel;
(6) you cover yourself with a clean linen robe, you and the vessel; you recite into the vessel, your eyes being shut, for seven times; you open your eyes;
(7) you ask it concerning that which you wish; if you wish to make the gods of the vessel speak with you with their mouths to your mouth, you cry: 'Iaho,
(8) Iph, Eoe, Kintathour, Nephar, Aphoe.' \Then they make answer to you concerning everything concerning which you will ask of it again. If they do not tell you answer, you recite
(9) this other name: ' Gogethix, Mantounoboe, Kokhir-rhodor, Dondroma, Lephoker,
(10) Kephaersore.' If you recite these, then they inquire for you truthfully.

(13) my vessel go forth, my knot(?) here to-day, for the sake of the veasel of Isis the Great, who inquireth for her husband, who seeketh for her brother; Menash (bis),
