description Generally, incantation bowls are written in a formal standardized literary Eastern Aramaic or, less frequently, in a "koiné" of Southern Babylonian Aramaic. The present article treats a magic bowl that is written in an idiom that is related to Talmudic Aramaic. Although the term Talmudic Aramaic has been used indiscriminately in several studies to describe the language of incantation bowls, the only attested evidence for this dialect in a bowl written in Aramaic square characters is the single British Museum bowl, BM 135563 (1971-2-29, 1), presented here. The text has a strong parallel in a late copy of a Mandaic incantation series Shafta ḏ Pishra ḏ Ainia which is also reminiscent of a passage in the incantation series Maqlû.
