11 Here I would mention a line, it too apparently not hitherto recognized as metrical, evidently incised by one person on two virtually identical haematites, one of them in the Cairo Museum (Barry, L., “Notice sur quelques pierres gnostiques,” Annales du Service des Antiquités de l'Égypte 7 [1906] 241–49Google Scholar, no. 3; cf.

Brummer (Bonner, Campbell, Studies in Magical Amulets, chiefly Graeco-Egyptian [Ann Arbor, MI: University of Michigan Press, 1950] 86):Google Scholar στάλητι, μήτραμή σε τυΦών καταλάβη. Delatte conjectured that στάλητι might be a miscopying or misunderstanding of a model with στάθητι. If he is right, the text, “Stay (in place), womb, lest Typhon catch you,” is another such “staying” incantation in iambic meter.
