C. Bonner, Amulets Chiefly in the British Museum, Hesperia 20, 1951, 301-345, 301-345, no. 43.

Obv. Ouroboros enclosing pantheos similar in many respects to the foregoing example, but differing in the following points. The headdress is a simple three pronged ornament like a psi without curves. The upper pair of hands hold short scepters with oblique projections near the point, suggesting that the engraver had in mind stylized thunderbolts. Of the lower pair the r. hand holds a balance, the l. a dagger. In the field, the common magical word ακραμμαχαμαρει, arranged with the first letter at the l. side of the head, the second at r., and so on in descending columns to ε and ι which are placed close to the feet at l. and r. At bottom, fifteen characters (including two reversed epsilons) in two lines.
Rev. Four and a half lines of characters, some Greek letters, others adapted from Greek letters. Following the last character, the inscription αυεβωθιαβαθα • βαιθωβευα • αχεναχελειαζα • μερρειξα • βαρβαριωθ • τερχνα • φουει • αειαδδεινζαχρεια. It is to be noted that the units are pronounceable (see SMA, pp. 186–190), and are carefully separated with high points. The first two, taken together, make a palindrome with the second theta as central letter. On the bevel, αφθυχωβριανυπχηθιιλαμιψιχυχθυθηχρι (vac) ωαχωβιαφθθυονχυθχηθριανψιχαειθιηαη.
