Arslan Tash amulets

On the reverse is a marching god with late-Assyrian headgear carrying an axe instead of the expected lightning bolt.

The limestone plaque "AT1" includes incantations meant to deter demons from entering the household, and then appeals to such deities as Assur, Baal, Horon, and to Heaven and Earth.

[6] The two tablets were dated to the 7th century BC[7] and they call upon the sons of Im to protect the amulet wearers from the male stragglers (Lamassu) and the female fliers (Lilith).

[8] Working from du Mesnil du Buisson's photographs, and in some cases casts, the text on the plaque "AT1" was translated from the Phoenician by Dupont-Sommer (1939),[9] Albright (1939),[10] Gaster (1942)[11] (1947)[12] Torczyner (1947),[13] Cross and Saley (1970),[14] Texidor (1971),[15] Caquot (1973),[16] and Röllig (1974).

[17] The text includes a broken word lly- which with the addition of -t could possibly be analogous to the Hebrew Lilith, or ll wyn "night and day".
