"Different procedures focused on the use of inscriptions on paper or papyrus, wax figurines and invisible inks... Chapter 20: on those who play tricks with slips of paper (qays al-mušarmiṭīn)"
Remarks
Paper and papyrus are cited as the primary substrates for deceptive inscriptions and 'invisible inks' used by 'astrologers' and tricksters (p. 186). Chapter 20 specifically highlights 'slips of paper' (qays al-mušarmiṭīn) used in tricks to make certain names appear (p. 187).
