Papyri Graeci Magici 13.708-715:
Now when the god comes in do not stare at his face, but look at his feet. … You, then, ask, “Master, what is fated for me?” And he will tell you about his star, and what kind of daimon you have, and your horoscope and where you may live and where you may die. And if you hear something bad, do not cry out or weep, but ask that he may wash it off or circumvent it, for this god can do everything.
