Text type
commentary
The writing on the verso is in more or less distinct lines; that on the recto is spiral. (Jordan)
Nombre de la víctima + parte del cuerpo (la lengua) que se quiere dañar. La repetición final está destinada a asegurar la efectividad del conjuro. La composición se basa en un estilo formular, con sintagmas repetidos en otros documentos de la misma índole, lo que demuestra su difusión. Esta defixio pertenece al tipo jurídico, puesto que las personas inscritas son sìndicos, que debería intervenir en un juicio en contra del autor. (Lopez-Jimeno)
