Resplendent Dionysos, august among the Gods,
vanquisher, triumphant, by the power of your mighty
name I banish all the offspring of the thousand and one
children of Yeqon the lascivious, of every kind,
and every perversion. Be they evil spirit,
evil demon, evil ghost, evil devil,
evil God, evil fiend, evil man,
evil face, evil eye, evil mouth, evil tongue,
or any other kind of evil. If the descendants
of Yeqon should cast any evil disease
or temptation on NN, may it be cut off
with your sharp pruning-knife Dionysos,
and if they have planted their seeds in NN,
may they depart from his body,
from his body may they issue forth,
leaving his body, may they never return!
Let their evil, their impurity, the poison
of their eyes and mouth go!
Let it not go into the fruitful field, forest or garden!
Let it travel the route of the dark earth!
In the dark earth lie iron vessels.
Their lids are of lead.
Whatever goes into them,
does not come up again,
it perishes therein.
Unto my body may they
or their evil not draw near,
nor to any of those I hold dear.
May Yeqon’s kin commit
no evil before my eyes,
nor follow behind me.
Into my house may they not enter,
my fence may they not break through,
my property may they not trespass.
May they be kept out by Dionysos
the Liberator of Souls, and his Furious Host.
