Kosmokrates, Part 4

19 - 24

19) Naôth; Causes aches and pains in the knees; Write: 'Phnunoboêol, depart Nathath, and touch thou not the neck,' on paper to send him away.

20) Marderô; Sends “on men incurable fever”; Write: 'Sphênêr, Rafael, retire, drag me not about, flay me not,' “on the leaf of a book and tie it round” the neck to dispel him.

21) Alath; Causes “coughing and hard-breathing in children”. Write: 'Rorêx, do thou pursue Alath,' on paper and ties it around their neck and he will leave.

22) The twenty-second demon in the group is missing. No explanation.

23) Nefthada; Causes infection in the kidneys and bladder leading to painful discharges of urine; Writing 'Iathôth, Uruêl, Nephthada,' on a tin plate and securing it around the loins fends him off.

24) Akton; Causes pain in the ribs and lumbar muscles; Take “copper material, taken from a ship which has missed its anchorage, this: 'Marmaraôth, Sabaôth, pursue Akton,' and fasten it round the loin" and will flee and the pain will subside.
