“And may we, dwelling among the attendants, attain equality with you,
the status of attendants, O Lord of all gods, if you deem it proper, O All-pervading One!”

and this sin, O blessed ones, shall come into existence in saline soil,
and in the sap of trees, and in the foam of waters,
and in the smell of great serpents, and likewise in the reviling of women,
