Defixionum Tabellae, Auguste Audollent's 1904 critical edition from Albert Fontemoing, Paris, is the standard corpus of Greek and Latin curse tablets from outside Attica, and the origin of the DT numbering system the literature still cites today. Its strength is that it is the foundational scholarly corpus in its field, confirmed against multiple independent bibliographic listings and still the standard reference after more than a century. Its limit is that later scholarship has published additional curse tablets discovered since 1904, so a claim about the full corpus should be checked against supplementary compilations as well.
