"The codex published here as P. Macq. I 1 is P. Macq. inv. 375, housed in the Museum of Ancient Cultures at Macquarie University, Sydney ... It is a complete twenty-page parchment codex, containing the handbook of a ritual practitioner. Typical of such handbooks, it starts with a lengthy series of invocations that culminate with drawings and words of power. These are followed by a number of prescriptions or spells to cure possession by spirits and various ailments, or to bring success in love and business ... There is also an evident Sethian stratum to the invocations, which can in substantial part be recovered."--Page [1].
