Well, it appears in this:
<http://www.sacred-texts.com/bos/bos110.htm>
so that probably gives some clue as to what it is supposed to be.
If you Google the first line, it suggests that the second word is
supposed to be "laca", and if you make that correction, you can find
this:
< en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Dbachmann/archiveC">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Dbachmann/archiveC>
which contains this comment:
From Grillot de Givry, Withcraft, Magic & Alchemy: "in Le Miracle de
Theophile, by the thirteenth-century trouvere Rutebeuf,
[...] we find the sorcerer Salatin conjuring the Devil
in terms not belonging to any known language:
Bagabi laca bachabe
Lamac cahi achababe
Karrelyos
Lamac lamec Bachalyas
Cabahagy sabalyos
Baryolos
Lagoz atha cabyolas
Samahac et famyolas
Harrahya."
There seems to be some discussion of this here, but it is not in English.

I'd be careful with this. The article you read seems to have gotten
some words wrong, and getting words wrong when trying to summon the
Devil is usually not a good idea. :-)
