Italian Egyptologist deciphered two of axirinci papyri (third century). They were found spells: a love for women and one for men, whose aim is to subordinate his will he is a ruler. Spells has been deciphered Maltamine Franco (Franco Maltomini) at the University of Udine.

Spells written in ancient Greek (it was widespread in Hellenistic and Roman Egypt). They were not intended for a specific person: the name needed to write (or say). The author spells is not specified.

In the text love spells are called the Gnostic deity. Who wants to charm a woman suggest to burn some of the chemicals (their names are not preserved) in the bath, and then to write on the wall following last words: “I Implore you, earth and water, in the name of the demon that lives in you, and the fate of this bath — how you sparkle, burn and blaze, so you burn [woman’s name], who was born to [mother’s name women], until she comes to me…”

The goal of the second spell is to subordinate man to the will of the caster. It is recommended to engrave a few “magic” phrases on a copper plate, and then attach it to the personal belongings of the victim (e.g., sandals). In addition, on the reverse side of the papyrus are a few medical prescriptions: headache, leprosy and other diseases they are advised to treat the excrement of animals.

In the early twentieth century the papyri were discovered among the thousands of other among the ruins of the ancient Egyptian city Occuring. Transcript of materials continues to this day.
