There’s William M. Brashear’s ‘modest glossary' of voces magic and nomina barbara, part of his 'The Greek Magical Papyri: an Introduction and Survey; Annotated Bibliography (1928-1994)’ in 'Aufstieg und Niedergang der römischen Welt’ II 18.5 (Berlin and New York: Walter de Gruyter & Co., 1995), 3380-3684 (3576–3603). Braesher admits that it’s not a comprehensive etymological dictionary, and to the best of my knowledge no-one has attempted such an exercise.

Good day!

Has anyone in the group come across any studies or analyses done on the barbarous names of evocation in general, or specifically those as they appear in the Hans Dieter Betz  Greek Magical Papyri in Translation.  Initially, I was hoping that someone may have done a lexicon or at least a list of these barbarous names but so far I've found nothing of the sort.  Thank you.
