translation
I write this indictment (graphê), I write this indictment (graphê) not having
wronged anybody[?] (. . .). Write down forever the one who stole Epilykos
10 denarii, so that he spends sleepless nights, dried by fire; make the thief
burn the day of today, day by day, and make him disappear. And I write
down these parts of him: the brain, the beard[?], (10) the forehead, the
eyes, the upper lip, the teeth, the neck, the gullet, the shoulders, the ribs,
the collarbone, the chest, the spleen, the kidneys, the sexual parts, the legs,
his gait, feet, muscles, veins[?]. I write down the thief, and the accomplice,
and who participated, either man, woman, or virgin. I hand the thief of my
[propriety and those who perpetrated the crime with] the abovementioned
to Pluton and Kore Opte and all the infernal gods; bind the one written
on my [tablet], take him into your hands, (20) take and kill and burn[?]
the thief of my property, and punish him, repay him. I invoke you, the one
who is under the earth and under the heaven, SOUELIAES IELOBASY
SAOTHE IOTHEN and THAMANI ORONO; vindicate the one who
wrote and wrote down, deliver the curse to[?].
