Does anyone know, off-hand, where I could find the text of a Greek oath? Or an explaination of one?

I'm in need of it for an OL article, and I figure I have enough people interested in that area on this list that someone might know where I can look?

I have that. I didn't look through that one in particular, though. Will do so when I get home.

"Magic in the Ancient World" has Roman ones (and a Hittite one) but no Greek, I don't think.

Greek Oaths?

Bugger me? Wait, no, that's British.
Fuck me gently with a chainsaw? No ... that's Valley Girl.
I can't think of anything.
