Abstract:
This article presents the editio princeps of a Hebrew lamella from the Wolfe Family Collection (Wolfe NA 3), which was prepared for Benenata, daughter of Leontina. The lamella is unique in that it contains independent Hebrew text from start to finish with no sign of Aramaic. The last two lines of the lamella include a set of magical symbols followed by a Greek word. An edition of the new text is accompanied by photographs, a hand-drawn facsimile, an alphabetical chart, linguistic notes on peculiar spellings, and cross-references to parallel sources.
