Zosimos - The Formula of the Crab

Molybdochalkos! Molybdochalkos!
Sign of the scorpion crab.

Molybdochalkos! Molybdochalkos!
Sigil of the scorpion.

Note well!
The everything,
The copper's rust.
Lead and copper burnt.

Molybdochalkos! Molybdochalkos!
Sign of the scorpion crab.

The silver is burned,
The copper is burned,
and both are fused.

The silver is burned,
The copper is burned,
Lead and copper burned.

Zosimos.

Fix them,
Divide them,
Fourteen weights.

Fix them,
Divide them,
Yes, fourteen drachmas

The silver is burned,
The copper is burned,
and both are fused.

The silver is burned,
The copper is burned,
and both are fused.

Divide them! Divide them!
Fourteen weights, Fourteen drachmas.

Fix them,
Divide them,
Fourteen weights, fourteen drachmas.

Let the copper be calcined to oxide!
The undivided philosopher's egg,
The copper's shell,
Daemon-blessed is the one who understands.

Let the copper be calcined to oxide!
The undivided philosopher's egg,
The copper's shell,
Daemon-blessed is the one who understands.

Molybdochalkos! Molybdochalkos!
So both are fused.

The silver is burned,
The copper is burned,
and both are fused.

Fix them,
Divide them,
Fourteen weights.

Fix them,
Divide them,
Yes, fourteen drachmas.

Molybdochalkos! Molybdochalkos!
Molybdochalkos! Molybdochalkos!

Molybdochalkos, Zosimos,
Of the scorpoion crab.

Molybdochalkos!
