Borphorba Barphorpba Bar-
phorbabarphorbabaie, migh-
ty Betpy, I hand over to
you Alkidamos, whom
Fausta bore, that you may
chill him and his
gnome, and in your da-
rk air also those
with him. Bind in
oblivion’s unilluminated
aiôn and chill (him)
and do not allow him to get past
the starting lines of the Athenai-
a. And if he does get
past, that he may veer off course and
disgrace himself, Morzou-
ne Alcheine Pepertharo
Iaiaia, I hand over to you
Alkidamos, Mighty
Typhon Kolchlo Tonto-
non Seth Sathaoch Ea
Anax Apomxi Phriourinx
over blacking out and chilling, Kol-
choi Cheilops, let Alkidamos grow cold
and do not let him get past
the starting lines of the Athenaia.
As these names grow
cold, so too let grow cold Alkidamos’
name and soul,
impulse, knowledge, epi-
pompê, mind, knowledge,
reckoning. Let him be deaf, du-
mb, mindless, harmless, hearing
nothing about Apolloni-
anos nor having any impulse against
Apollonianos and nothing
