Leemans, Papyri Graeci Mus. Antiq. Lugduni-Batavi; Wessely, Griechische Zauberpapyrus von Paris und London, and Neue Griechische Zauberpapyri, Wien, 1893, passim. Cf. Kenyon, Greek Papyri in the British Museum, p. 62. So in mediaeval magic, the words in the spells unintelligible to the magician are generally Greek. See Reginald Scot, Discovery of Witchcraft (1651), p. 168.
