  • Starting from the pharmakeia’s scene depicted in PSI Xi 1214, fr. a – a piece of ancient Sicilian Magic ascribed to the Sophron’s mime The women who say they are expelling the Goddess, which describes a purificatory rite performed to counteract the malign influences of a Goddess (perhaps hecate), or more probably a love charm to attract the lover, as in Theocritus, Id. 2 – this paper analyses briefly some evidences concerning dog’s sacrifices in Greek, Demotic and Coptic magical papyri.
