Description: | Suleyman explains that there was a man who was detained by St George. They had gone to a sorcerer, who instructed them to collect water of three springs and soil of three saints. They must smear the soil on the body of the detained who is ill, and wash it off with the water. He must then spend a night in the church of St George. Having followed these instructions, the ill man was healed. Suleyman informs us that he has a grandchild with the same illness. He too has spoken to a sorcerer, and he was given the same formula. Suleyman is still to follow the instructions of the sorcerer. | |
