The Hebraikos Logos5 (From the Greek Magical Papyri [PGM IV 3007-3086])6
A tested charm of Pibechis for those possessed by demons: Take oil of unripe olives with the herb mastigia and the fruit pulp of the lotus, and boil them with colorless marjoram while saying, "IOEL OS SARTHIOMI EMORI THEOCHIPSOITH SITHEMEOCH SOTHE IOE MIMIPSOTHIOOPH PHERSOTHI AEEIOYO IOE EO CHARI PHTHA, come out from so-and-so" (add the usual). The phylactery: On a tin lamella write "IAEO ABRAOTH IOCH PHTHA MESENPSIN IAO PHEOCH IAEO CHARSOK," and hang it on the patient. It is terrifying to every demon, a thing he fears. After placing [the patient] opposite [to you], conjure. This is the conjuration: "I conjure you by the god of the Hebrews, IESOUS IABA IAE ABRAOTH AIA THOTH ELE ELO AEO EOY IIIBAECH ABARMAS IABARAOU ABELBEL LONA ABRA MAROIA BRAKION, who appears in fire, who is in the midst of land, snow, and fog, TANNETIS; let your angel, the implacable, descend and let him assign the demon flying around this form, which god formed in his holy paradise, because I pray to the holy god, [calling] upon AMMON IPSENTANCHO (formula). I conjure you, LABRIA IAKOUTH ABLANATHANALBA AKRAMM (formula) AOTH IATHABATHRA CHACHTHABRATHA CHAMYN CHEL ABROOTH OUABRASILOTH HALLELOU IELOSAI IAEL. I conjure you by the one who appeared to Israel in a shining pillar and a cloud by day, who saved his people from the Pharaoh and brought upon Pharaoh the ten plagues because of his disobedience. I conjure you, every demonic spirit, to tell whatever sort you may be, because I conjure you by the seal which Solomon placed on the tongue of Jeremiah, and he told. You also tell whatever sort you may be, heavenly or aerial, whether terrestrial or subterranean, or netherworldly or Ebousaeus or Cherseus or Pharisaeus [i.e. a demon of the Pharisees!], tell whatever sort you may be, because I conjure you by god, lightbearing, unconquerable, who knows what is in the heart of every living being, the one who formed of dust the race of humans, the one who, after bringing them out from obscurity, packs together the clouds, waters the earth with rain and blesses its fruit, [the one] whom every heavenly power of angels and of archangels praises.

the great god SABAOTH, through whom the Jordan River drew back and the Red Sea, which Israel crossed, became impassable, because I conjure you by the one who introduced the one hundred forty languages and distributed them by his own command. I conjure you by the one who burned up the stubborn giants with lightning, whom the heaven of heavens praises, whom the wings of the cherubim praise. I conjure you by the one who put the mountains around the sea [or] a wall of sand and commanded the sea not to overflow.

I conjure [you] by the one in holy Jerusalem, before whom the unquenchable fire burns for all time, with his holy name, IAEOBAPHRENEMOUN (formula), the one before whom the fiery Gehenna trembles, flames surround, iron bursts asunder and every mountain is afraid from its foundation. I conjure you, every demonic spirit, by the one who oversees the earth and makes its foundations tremble, [the one] who made all things which are not into that which is. And I adjure you, the one who receives this conjuration, not to eat pork, and every spirit and demon, whatever sort it may be, will be subject to you. And while conjuring, blow once, blowing air from the tips of the feet up to the face, and it will be assigned. Keep yourself pure, for this charm is Hebraic and is preserved among pure men.
This is a book, from the Books of the Mysteries, which was given to Noah, the son of Lamech... by Raziel the angel in the year when he came into the ark (but) before his entrance. And (Noah) inscribed it upon a sapphire stone very distinctly. And he learned from it how to do wondrous deeds, and (he learned) secrets of knowledge, and categories of understanding and thoughts of humility and concepts of counsel, (how) to master the investigation of the strata of the heavens, to go about in all that is in their seven abodes, to observe all the astrological signs, to examine the course of the sun, to explain the observations of the moon, and to know the paths of the Great Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, to declare the names of the overseers of each and every firmament and the realms of their authority, and by what means they (can be made to) cause success in each thing (asked of them), and what are the names of their attendants and what (oblations) are to be poured out to them, and what is the proper time (prayer) will be heard by them, to perform every wish of anyone (who comes) near them in purity. (Noah learned) from it rituals (that cause) death and rituals (that preserve) life, to understand the evil and the good, to search out (the right) seasons and moments (for magical rites), to know the time to give birth and the time to die, the time to strike and the time to heal, to interpret dreams and visions, to arouse combat, and to quiet wars, and to rule over spirits and over demons, to send them (wherever you wish) so they will go out like slaves, to watch the four winds of the earth, to be learned in the speech of thunderclaps, to tell the significance of lightning flashes, to foretell what

will happen in each and every month, and to know the affairs of each and every year, whether for plenty or for hunger, whether for harvest or for draught, whether for peace or for war, to be as one of the awesome ones and to comprehend the songs of heaven. ...And when he came forth from the ark, he used (the book) all the days of his life, and at the time of his death he handed it down to Abraham, and Abraham to Isaac, and Isaac to Jacob, and Jacob to Levi, and Levi to Kohath, and Kohath to Amram, and Amram to Moses, and Moses to Joshua, and Joshua to the elders, and the elders to the prophets, and the prophets to the sages, and thus generation by generation until Solomon the King arose. And the Books of the Mysteries were disclosed to him and he became very learned in books of understanding, and (so) ruled over everything he desired, over all the spirits and the demons that wander in the world, and from the wisdom of this book he imprisoned and released, and sent out and brought in, and built and prospered. For many books were handed down to him, but this one was found more precious and more honorable and more difficult than any of them. Happy the eye that will behold it. Happy the ear that listens attentively to its wisdom. For in it are the seven firmaments and all that is in them. From their encampments we shall learn to comprehend all things, and to have success in every deed, to think and to act from the wisdom of this book.

This bowl is designated for the sealing of the house and the wife and the children of Dinoi bar Ispandarmed, that there remove from him the Tormentor and evil Dreams. The bowl I deposit and sink down, a work which has been made like that which Rav Yeshua bar Perachya sat and wrote against them, a ban-writ against all the Demons and Devils and Satans and Liliths and Latbe which are in the house of Dinoi bar Ispandarmed. Again: he wrote against them a ban-writ which is for all time, by the virtue of TMDG, Atatot Atot, within T(?), Atot Atot the name, a writing within a writing. Through which (words) were subjected heaven and earth and the mountains; and through which the heights were commanded; and through which were fettered Arts, Demons and Devils and Satans and Liliths and Latbe; and through which he passed over from this world and climbed above you to the height (of heaven) and learned all countercharms, a ruin to destruction, and ...to bring you forth from the house of Dinoi bar Ispandarmed, and from all that is in his house, I have dismissed you by the ban-writ.

Shimush Tehilim (Practical Psalms) (Medieval Rabbanite Magical Book in Wide Use Today13)
Psalm 19) "The heavens declare" (verse 2). This Psalm is good for someone who has an evil spirit in him. Say it seven times, and the spirit will flee. The [divine] name to be used with this Psalm is "HY": He from the word "The heavens" (verse 2) and Yod from the word "my Redeemer" (verse 15). Say, "Let it be your will, O HY, the great name, etc., that you drive off from so-and-so an evil spirit." Write this formula and hang it on the patient. Furthermore, for a woman who has difficulty in child birth, take dust from a crossroads and write with the Psalm up until the words "like a bridegroom who goes forth from his chamber" (verse 6) and place it on her stomach. When she gives birth remove it immediately and recite the Psalm seven times. Finally, to open up the heart, purify yourself and take a cup of wine and honey, and say over it seven times with the divine name of the Psalm. Give the patient to drink and say, "Let it be your will, O HY, that you open up my heart (or the heart of so-and-so) with your Torah and with all wisdom, that the heart never forgets what it learns. Amen! Amen! Amen! Selah! Selah! Selah! (Shimush Tehilim (Practical Psalms), Jerusalem 1998, pp.6-7)
