᾿Ιακώβ. The appeal to the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob (cf. Mk 1228) is very common in the magic papyri, eg. P Par 5741231. (iii/A.p.) (= Selections, p. 113 f.) χαῖρε φνουθι v ‘ABpadp: χαῖρε πνουτε v ᾿Ισάκ' χαῖρε πνουτε v Ἰακώβ, “hail, spirit of Abraham”: see further Deissmann 2S p- 282, where Orig. c. Ce/s. v. 45 is quoted to the effect that these Hebrew names had to be left untranslated in the adjurations if the ower of the incantation was not to be lost, and 73. p. 316 on the tendency of the early Christians to prefer the “Biblical” form ᾿Ιακώβ to the Graecized ᾿Ιάκωβος. Cf. also the sepulchral inscr. Predsigke 2034 ἀνάπαυσον τὴν ψυχὴν τοῖς δούλοις σου πιστὰ ἐν κόλποις ᾿Αβρὰμ καὶ ᾿Ισὰκ καὶ ᾿Ιακώβ. For the spelling ᾿Ιακούβ see Wiinsch AF 35 (Imperial age).
