    • 1865, P. P. Castagna, Malta bil ghzejer tahha u li ghadda min ghaliha: It-tieni parti[1], page 61:
      [...] igħeidu u isostnu illi wiħed imgħajen, jaħtieg jiddobba biccia min ħuejeg dac l’icun għainu, sabiex jaħraka, jidbaħħar biha; u hech mad-duħħan taħħa, tmur il-għain min fuku u min taħtu!
      [...] they say and assert that someone cursed by the evil eye must obtain a piece of the clothes of that who cursed him, in order to burn it and fumigate himself with it; and thus, with the smoke, the evil eye will withdraw from him entirely (lit. from over him and under him)!
