Summary
DescriptionPella leaded tablet (katadesmos) 4th Century retouched.jpg |
English: A tablet (katadesmos) from Pella, Cemetery of Agora, now at the Museum of Pella. Size: ca 30x6 cm. (unrolled). First half of the 4th century BC. The tablet, made of lead, was found rolled in the right hand of the dead man. The text incised reveals to be a curse of magical and ritual meaning. The language is classified as being a NW Greek dialect used in Macedonia before the half of the 4th century BC, under the influence of Attic dialect syntax.
Text:
English translation as shown in the Museum of Pella (see also [http://www.brynmawr.edu/classics/redmonds/csts212w4.html Love Charms In Their Social Context] at Bryn Mawr College): «Of Thetima and Dionysophon the ritual wedding and the marriage I bind by a written spell, as well as [the marriage] of all other women [to him], both widows and maidens, but above all of Thetima; and I entrust [this spell] to Macron and to the daimones. And were I ever to unfold and read these words again after digging [the tablet] up, only then should Dionysophon marry, not before; may he indeed not take another beside myself, but let me alone grow old by the side of Dionysophon and no one else. I implore you: have pity for [Phila (?)], dear daimones, [for I am indeed bereft (?)] of all my dear ones and abandoned. But please keep this [piece of writing] for my sake so that these events do not happen and wretched Thetima perishes miserably. [---] but let me become happy and blessed [---].» (after E. Voutyras)Italiano: Traduzione italiana (da Tavola_di_Pella su it.wikipedia.org)
