Egyptian Love Spell

This text was written in Coptic, considered the final stage of ancient Egyptian language. The exact origin of this piece is unknown but it is believed that it came from Middle Egypt, due to the dialect. This is the only Coptic language love incantation between men. It was written by a man named Apapolo. The spell wishes that his love interest, Phello, cannot rest until he finds Apapolo and falls in love with him.

The English translation of the text is as follows: 

[magical words] Celtatalbabal. Karašneife Nnas Kneife, by the power of Iao Sabaoth! Rous Rous Rous Rous Rous Rous Rous Rous

I adjure you by your powers and your phylacteries and the places upon which you dwell and your names that in the way that I will take you and place you at the door and the path of Phlo the son of Maure, you will take his heart, his mind (?), you will master his whole body! If he stands you will not let him stand, if he sits you will not let him sit, if he sleeps you will not let him sleep! He will seek after me from village to village, from city to city, from field to field, from land to land, until he comes to me and he subjects himself beneath my feet – me, Apapolo, the son of Nooe – his hands filled with all good things, until I fulfill with him the desire of my heart and the request of my soul in a good desire and an unbreakable affection, now, now, quickly, quickly, do my work!
