O Dionysos Ekpaglos, I pray that you come to the assistance of NN
who is being driven to ruin and despair through the evil machinations
of a coven of witches, as once your savagery was made known throughout
the entire Thessalian land when the dark-eyed and white-limbed Selēnē
was dragged down to the dirt, her divinity assaulted.
O Dionysos Saōmbrotos who taught Orpheus his songs,
Melampous his healings, and Empedokles his purifications
I implore you to blunt the attacks and strip these witches
of their power to poison, to bind, and to loosen;
O Dionysos Eleutherios, please save NN from these witches
and nullify any occult compacts they’ve made,
free any spirits they’ve coerced into helping them,
and soothe the dead whose wrath they have provoked against NN;
O Dionysos Sugcheion, I request that you blind their psychic perceptions,
obscure and confuse their divinations,
make it so all of their prayers go unheard
except prayers of repentance and atonement,
transform their curses into blessings,
and thwart any other craft that allows them
to interfere with or harm NN.
Finally I petition you, Dionysos Tristhenes,
to have all the powers and devices of these witches,
who are nothing but wicked and envious people,
destroyed and cast into the deepest part of Tartaros,
where the ashy Titans will ensure that they remain
impotent in the darkness
and unable ever to cause havoc
and hardship in the life of NN again.
