Preview of English translation:

25. But in calling her four times, he calls her in different ways, in order to avoid repetition (of sacrificial performance); for, if he were to call, “Ida is called hither! Ida is called hither!” or 'Hither is called Ida! hither is called Ida!' he would indeed commit the (fault of) repetition. By saying, “Ida is called hither!” he calls her hitherwards; and by 'Hither (or thither, lit. called to somebody) is called Ida!' he calls her thitherwards. By saying, “May Ida also call us to her,” he does not omit himself, and, besides, it (the formula) is changed. By (the second), “Ida is called hither!” he again calls her hitherwards; so that he thereby (and by the second, “Hither is called Ida,” again) calls her hitherwards and thitherwards.
