[c. 400 CE – 500 CE, Anonymous, defixio 30, Roma (Note that whoever wrote this defixio (possibly a professional practicioner) uses many different magical symbols and charakteres, as well as multiple other magical formulas including the palindrome Ablanatanalba and invoking Solomon and Abraxas. Natalías also notes specifically that this inscription was written on copper instead of lead, rare for a defixio in the Roman West. She also notes that she believes (although it is not necessarily obvious in the translation) that in this defixio the victim is specifically being condemned to die in a fire (in foco). See more on these subjects in Natalías 2022.)]

Etymology

1. * The origin is uncertain. Usually connected with Old Armenian բոց (bocʻ).
2. * Some connect this along with faciēs, facētus, fax to Proto-Indo-European *bʰeh₂- (“to shine”); if so, cognate at the root level with Sanskrit भाति॑ (bhā́ti), Ancient Greek φαίνω (phaínō, “to shine”), etc.
3. * Matasović, and Hamp before him, opt to derive from Proto-Indo-European *dʰegʷʰ- (“to burn”); Matasović believes that the -c- would have spread from the nominative of a root noun *dʰṓkʷʰ-s (< *dʰṓgʷʰ-s).
