Silver amulet against the devil, evil eye, fever and chills, 30 x 40 mm, engraved with 11 lines of a text drawn up in Hebrew. The small and fragile object was originally rolled and enclosed in a capsule. Meshorer tried to decipher the difficult legible text: "This amulet is for Shimon, the son of Shapira against all [evils?] like the Satain, the evil eye, fever and chills, [especially against the Daemon who causes chills. In the name of the god of Israel" – 4 lines of magical letters and symbols – ...] God’s divine presence upon my head [... – ...] chase away the Satan [ ..., ] the Lord of heavenly armies ... God – of Israel".

Overbeck – Meshorer no. A70.
