sion of reciting the Avesta in mind, of strewing about
hair, nails, and toothpicks, of not washing the hands, all the rest
which belongs to the category of dirt and corpses, if I have thereby
come among the sinners, so repent I of all these sins with thoughts,
words, and works, corporeal as spiritual, earthly as heavenly, with the
three words: pardon, O Lord, I repent of sin.

"That which was the wish of Ormazd the Creator, and I ought to have
thought, and have not thought, what I ought to have spoken and have not
spoken, what I ought to have done and have not done; of these sins
repent I with thoughts, words, and works," etc.

"That which was the wish of Ahriman, and I ought not to have thought
and yet have thought, what I ought not to have spoken and yet have
spoken, what I ought not to have done and yet have done; of these sins
I repent," etc.

"Of all and every kind of sin which I have committed against the
creatures of Ormazd, as stars, moon, sun, and the red burning fire, the
dog, the birds, the five kinds of animals, the other good creatures
which are the property of Ormazd, between earth and heaven, if I have
become a sinner against any of these, I repent," etc.

"Of pride, haughtiness, covetousness, slandering the dead, anger, envy,
the evil eye, shamelessness, looking at with evil intent, looking at
with evil concupiscence, stiff-neckedness, discontent with the godly
arrangements, self-willedness, sloth, despising others, mixing in
strange matters, unbelief, opposing the Divine powers, false witness,
false judgment, idol-worship, running naked, running with one shoe, the
breaking of the low (midday) prayer, the omission of the (midday)
prayer, theft, robbery, whoredom, witchcraft, worshipping with
sorcerers, unchastity, tearing the hair, as well as all other kinds of
sin which are enumerated in this Patet, or not enumerated, which I am
aware of, or not aware of, which are appointed or not appointed, which
I should have bewailed with obedience before the Lord, and have not
bewailed,--of these sins repent I with thoughts, words, and works,
corporeal as spiritual, earthly as heavenly. O Lord, pardon, I repent
with the three words, with Patet.

"If I have taken on myself the Patet for any one and have not performed
it, and misfortune has thereby come upon his soul or his descendants, I
repent of the sin
