“Let the man whom I touch be blessed. Before me may lucky thoughts be spoken, After me may a lucky finger be pointed, Oh that thou wert my guardian genius, And my guardian spirit O God that blesseth, Marduk, Let me be blessed, wherever my path may be! Thy power shall god and man proclaim; This man shall do thy service, And I too, the magician, thy slave. Unto the house on entering Samas is before me, Sin is behind [me], Nergal is at [my] right hand, Ninib is at my left hand When I draw near unto the sick man, When I lay my hand on the head of the sick man, May a kindly Spirit, a kindly Guardian, stand at my side.”
