Abstract: This article presents the first edition of a previously unpublished Jewish Aramaic incantation bowl from the National Library of Israel (NLI Ms. Heb. 9467.163), which preserves the well-known formula ‘I go, I PN son of PN, with my own power’. Drawing on all available parallels, the study provides a full edition of B16041—left only partially edited by Montgomery due to its fragmentary state—and reexamines B2945 and B2923, demonstrating that they transmit the same formula in sequential fashion. Through close philological and literary analysis of the complete text, the article sheds new light on its structure and content, revealing a complex fusion of Jewish and Mandaic elements.
