comment
In this tablet I curse
Quintus, who has turned against himself and reason, and
leads his life to a bad end. Just as the galli or the priests
of Bellona have castrated or cut themselves, so may his
good name, reputation, ability to conduct his affairs be cut
away. Just as they are not numbered among mankind, so
may he too not (be so numbered). Just as he cheated me,
so may you (deal with him), holy Mater Magna, and take
everything away from him. Just as the tree shall wither in
the sanctuary, so may his reputation, good name, fortune,
and ability to conduct his affairs wither. I hand (him) over
to you, Lord Atthis, that you may punish him for me, so
that by the end of the year (he may suffer a) horrible bad
death…
He writes the name of this person to the wives. If anything
useful is to be done, he shall be useful for us by his body.
Being cursed you shall be horrified. (Sanchez)
