The spell has been reconstructed from two fragmentary amulets that were written on lead lamellae in the Sasanid period (MLSC 18 and 19) . The overlapping sections of the two amulets show some linguistic differences but are otherwise clearly parallel copies of the same formula . The spell is narrated in the name of Iauar son of Iauar and mentions other figures known from the Mandaean canonical literature . Iauar witnesses the unnatural behavior of the demons, who cause barrenness and infertility by the purloining of male and female seed, and cause infant mortality through acts of demonic violence . The text breaks off at the point where the narrator binds the demons . The formula adds several words to the Mandaic lexicon and a previously unattested form of the 1 c .s . personal pronoun . pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of the American Oriental Society is the property of American Society for Premodern Asia (ASPA) and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
