Mandaic Manuscript 45, 46 (Drower Collection): Sobbing, Child of Hysteria, Child of Sobs! He was shaken by sobs, and was quietened from sobbing, his sobs were vain, his sobs are subdued, and his sobs (tears) are dried and sent away. If not, I call on the angels of wrath that oversee and expel weeping and the dire affliction of sobbing, and they shall drive out weeping from N., the son of N. And there shall be health for N., son of N., from heaven. Sobbing. And life is victorious. Write this charm and insert into an onion of three knots and tie to the little ones neck.
