    Abstract:
    The paper proposes that the Egyptian-style design on a 5-6th century CE magical amulet discovered at Nea Paphos in Cyprus (Inv. no. PAP/FR 44/2011) draws upon an apotropaic design against the Evil Eye known as the “All-Suffering Eye,” which dates back to the time of the early Roman Empire and is common on Byzantine "Holy Rider" medallions. [Note that the journal cannot support non-Latin characters, so Beta code is used for Greek transliteration, most notably IAEW for ιαεω.]
