Pella Curse Tablet
The Pella curse tablet is a text written in a distinct Doric Greek idiom, found in Pella, the ancient capital of Macedon, in 1986. Ιt contains a curse or magic spell ( grc, κατάδεσμος, ''katadesmos'') inscribed on a lead scroll, dated to the first half of the 4th century BC (circa 375–350 BC). It was published in the ''Hellenic Dialectology'' Journal in 1993. It is one of four known texts that may represent a local dialectal form of ancient Greek in Macedonia, all of them identifiable as Doric. These suggest that a Doric Greek dialect was spoken in Macedonia, as was previously proposed based on the West Greek forms of names found in Macedonia. As a result, the Pella curse tablet has been forwarded as an argument that the Ancient Macedonian language was a dialect of North-Western Greek, and one of the Doric dialects.. The spell was written by a woman, possibly named Dagina, and was intended to cause her former lover to marry her. Interpretation It is a Incantation, mag ...
