Prayer to Helios and Hecate

A composite text, and honestly composite — the source field names both parts outright: "Sophocles (adapted) / Rhizotome (lost)".

The first half is genuine. The Rhizotomoi, "The Root-Cutters", is a lost tragedy of Sophocles about Medea, and this opening survives from it among other fragments: lord Helios and holy fire, the spear of Enodia, oak wreaths and coils of snakes. The fragment is preserved by a late quoting author, and in its original place it was spoken by a witch cutting herbs.

The second half is new: a request to bless offerings to the ancestors on the last day of the month and to keep all evil away. Sophoclean words have been attached to a rite they did not belong to.

This is exactly the construction the corpus keeps finding across the class of reconstructions: an ancient core plus a modern petition. The difference here is that the card declares it.

Compare the cards carmenta-004, carmenta-010 and carmenta-011: there too genuine ancient lines — the opening of Livius Andronicus' Odusia, a verse of Tibullus — have been attached to a rite not their own, but with no label at all, and passed off as prayers to Carmenta. The same device, and the whole difference lies in the declaration.
