A curse tablet is a single inscribed lead or ceramic sheet recording one binding formula, a katadesmos or defixio, made to be folded, rolled or pierced with a nail and deposited where it would reach its target, a grave, a well, a sanctuary floor. This entry is for an individual tablet studied on its own; where a whole excavated cache survives together, it is catalogued instead as a curse tablet deposit.
