Notes on Aramaic Incantation Bowls

Note 4a. AMBA15, AMBB12a and AMBB12b are all parallels. These are the "Sideros" texts.

Note 7p. BM039A and YBC2393 are partial parallels. These texts call upon the seven planets. BM047A has a passage parallel to BM039A with the same call to the seven planets.

Note 11a. IM9726, AMBB2, Pearson, YAMB, BM001A, BM002A, BM003A, BM005A, BM006A, BM007A, BM008A and BM009A are largely parallel. These are the "Angel with Eleven Names" texts.

Note AIT-2. AIT2, AIT27 and Gor11 are largely parallel.

Note AIT-7. The Myhrman Text is a close parallel to AIT7 and is re-presented as a parallel to such in Montgomery.

Note AIT-9. AIT9, Mous50 and Mous59 as well as the Syriac AIT32 and AIT33 are rough parallels.

Note AIT-11. BM013A, AIT11, AIT18, GorG, IM9737, IM11113, BM013A, MS1927/16, MS1927/25, MS1927/51, MS1928/47, MS2053/41, MS2053/64, MS2053/83, MS2053/86, MS2053/8, MS2053/110, MS2053/123, MS2053/151, MS2053/162, MS2053/167, MS2053/184, MS2053/190, MS2053/193, MS2053/213, MS2053/237, MS2053/249 and MS2053/258 are all "get" texts with rough parallels and a consistent formula. These are known as the Elisur Bagdana texts. MS2053/184 and MS2053/213 are both fragmentary parallels missing the Bagdana opening. IM114980 is a complete text with parallel formula but no mention of Bagdana. MS2053/200 and MS2053/270 both contain the opening formula but do not contain the "get". MS2053/200 and MS2053/270 are by the same hand for the same client. (C.f. BM44A)

Note AIT-21. AIT21, AIT22 and AIT23 are rough parallels. (***see also CAIB31***)

Note CAIB69. CAIB69 and N-IV are largely parallel and Isbell re-treats CAIB69 in "Two New Aramaic Incantation Bowls".

Note GorI. GorI and GorJ are rough parallels.

Note Hyvernat. GorE and GorF are parallels.

Note JBA-1. MS1927/8, MS1927/29, MS1927/45, MS1927/47, MS1927/64, MS2053/10, MS2053/12, MS2053/55, MS2053/183 and MS2053/185 are all largely parallel. MS1927/29, MS1927/47, MS2053/10 and MS2053/183 share a passage regarding an entity called Yohaq, not featured in the other close parallels. See also note JBA2.

Note JBA-2. MS2053/79 and MS2053/178 are by the same hand and are largely parallel. They also seem to be derivations of the same "ur-text" as those in note JBA1.

Note JBA-3. MS1927/5, MS1927/39, MS1929/16, MS2053/33, MS2053/150, MS2053/164, MS2053/165 all contain roughly parallel formulae, what I refer to as the "In the name of a character out of a character" formula.

Note JBA-4. MS2053/207, MS2053/209, MS2053/231, MS2053/253 and MS2053/273 are all close parallels.

Note JBA-5. MS2053/36, MS2053/214 and MS2053/250 are all close parallels.

Note ZRL48. IM9731 and ZRL48 are rough parallels.
