Headword:
*gohtei/a
Adler number: gamma,365
Translated headword: sorcery, wizardry
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] magic.
Sorcery [
gohtei/a] and magic [
magei/a] and witchcraft [
farmakei/a] differ; Medes and Persians discovered them. So magic is of course invocation of beneficent spirits for the production of something good, like the oracles of Apollonius of
Tyana.[1] But sorcery [refers] to raising a dead person by invocation, whence [the word] is derived from the wailing [
go/oi] and lamentations which are made at burials. But [the word] witchcraft [is used] when some death-dealing concoction is given as a potion by mouth to someone.[2]
Magic and astrology began with Magousaeans, for the Persians are called Magog by their countrymen.
Also [sc. attested is] Magouseans, the same people.[3]
lso [sc. attested is the related verb]
gohteu/w ["I bewitch"]; [used] with an accusative.

Headword:
*magei/a
Adler number: mu,9
Translated headword: magic
Vetting Status: high
Translation: It is an invocation of beneficent spirits for the production of something good; like the oracles of Apollonius of
Tyana.[1] [sc. By contrast] sorcery [
gohtei/a] is an invocation of maleficent spirits which takes place around the graves. But [the term] witchcraft [
farmakei/a] [is used] when some death-dealing concoction is given as a potion or otherwise by mouth to someone.[2]
But haruspicy [= liver-inspection] is the dissection of the entrails [of sacrificed animals], by which they used to foretell coming events. For when dissecting they observed certain signs in the livers.[3]

George the Monk,
Chronicon 1.74.10-12. The headword is actually an adjective ["Magian, magical, of magic"], presupposing a noun for art or craft; contrast
