Abstract This study proposes a new interpretation of the texts of two late ancient or early Byzantine papyrus amulets that refer to conflict with “headless” entities (PGM P 5a–b). Based on the identification of parallels in the Byzantine and later Greek tradition, a traditional incantation motif can be identified, targeting fever, which is analogized as a judicial crisis. An appendix publishes or republishes the relevant texts with translations. The complex career of the motif attested by the papyri and the Byzantine texts is also applied to illustrate the workings of the Greek tradition of incantations, in particular the mechanism by which elements of a received repertoire are re-combined, modified, and augmented for changing contexts, a process comparable to folkloric composition. The judicial motif can further be contextualized among beliefs about the supernatural, including the divinization of fever itself and the crediting of a broad cast of powers, including John the Baptist along with other holies, angels, and demons, with its infliction and relief.
摘要本研究对两个晚期古代或早期拜占庭纸莎草护身符的文本提出了新的解释，这两个护身符指的是与“无头”实体的冲突（PGM P 5a–b）。基于拜占庭和后来的希腊传统中相似之处的识别，可以识别出一个传统的咒语主题，针对发烧，这被类比为司法危机。附录出版或重新出版相关文本及其译文。纸莎草纸和拜占庭文本所证明的主题的复杂职业生涯也被用来说明希腊咒语传统的运作方式，特别是在不断变化的背景下，重新组合、修改和增强已接收曲目的元素的机制，这一过程可与民俗构成相媲美。司法主题可以在关于超自然现象的信仰中进一步语境化，包括对发烧本身的占卜，以及对广泛力量的信任，包括浸礼会约翰以及其他神圣、天使和恶魔，以及其施加和缓解。

Abstract Across the eastern Mediterranean, the personnel of late antique pilgrimage sites distributed terracotta tokens stamped with depictions of saints, scenes from the life of Christ, and related imagery. Using primarily hagiographical sources, scholars associate tokens with healing practices, the veneration of icons, and the worship of relics. Certainly, hagiographies offer valuable representations of ritual processes, but they also make claims on the proper distribution, meaning, and use of tokens amidst a diversity of intercessory activities. How, in practice, was a token produced and distributed? How did pilgrims use tokens at and away from pilgrimage complexes beyond the assertions made by hagiographers? This article answers these questions by tracing the “cultural biography” of a token. It analyzes the archaeological contexts of tokens in order to clarify select statuses that a token might occupy during its lifetime, including commodity, gift, domestic object, funerary object, relic, rubbish, and art object. This approach lays the foundation for examining hagiographical claims regarding the use of tokens as one among many assertions in the contested process of harnessing the power of saints. It illustrates the capacity of devotees to exhibit diverse practices as well as the efforts of personnel at pilgrimage sites to shape those practices.
