Description:Gabro explains two types of sorcery, good and evil. He classifies the formula of pleasing the parents of girl to allow a boy to marry her as good, or if a person cannot have children, and the sorcerer makes a formula to enable them to have children. On the other hand, he tells us that it is evil when two persons like the same girl, and one of the persons makes a formula, so that the parents of the girl dislike the other.
