It was published in Cuneiform Inscription of Western Asia in 1886 and copied by Montague Summer in The Vampire, His Kith and Kin.

* Place: Sumeria, Assyria, Babylon
* Situation: Spiritual and Plague Vampires 
Another one from the always vague Montague Summers. This time he sourses his information as "Campbell Thompson, op. cit., I, pp. 69-71." Fortunately, thanks to google, I know where Mr. Summers got this.

"Spirits that minish heaven and earth, That minish the land, Spirits that minish the land, Of giant strength, Of giant strength and giant tread, Demons (like) raging bulls, great ghosts, Ghosts that break through all houses, Demons that have no shame, Seven are they! Knowing no care, They grind the land like corn Knowing no mercy. They rage against mankind: They spill their blood like rain, Devouring their flesh (and) sucking their veins. Where the images of the gods are, there they quake In the Temple of Nabû, who fertilises the shoots of wheat. They are demons full of violence Ceaselessly devouring blood. Invoke the ban against them, That they no more return to this neighbourhood. By heaven be ye exorcised! By Earth be ye exorcised!"

=== Protection From Psychic Vampires ===
* Place: USA, UK
* Situation: Psychic Attack
According to the description given in Psychic Self Defence by Dion Fortune in 1939, it is quite easy to protect yourself from energy/psychic vampires, though it does take some practice to get down. 
Imagine yourself in the center of a fog, with every breath the fog gets thicker and evil things cannot get through.

Shout at the vampire "The Power of Christ Compels You!"
 It won't do anything to help you but it might make them laugh.

Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.
