| 释义 |
The Pydna curse tablets are six lead curse tablets brought to light in the 1994–97 excavations of 4th century B.C. graves near the Thermaic Gulf at ancient Pydna, Macedonia (Greece). These tablets, which are housed in the Thessaloniki Archaeological Museum, yield 66 names in all, a substantial addition to the previously very limited early prosopography of Pydna. Three tablets have only names, while in the other tablets the names are followed by phrases that show that the curses were meant to affect lawsuits. Many of the names in the tablets are well known as Greek and characteristic of Macedonia; others suggest a population with names also influenced by Thrace and perhaps also Epirus and Thessaly. The language used in the tablets is mainly Koinê Greek, although the Thessalian influence is also observed. Thessalian features were indeed already documented in Macedonia and are even likelier to be found in border cities such as Pydna, and the influence of the Koinê was already at work when the tablet was written. Pydna is the fourth Macedonian town from which curse tablets have been reported. The others are Acanthus, Arethusa, and Pella. So far, all the Macedonian examples are of the fourth century B.C.[1] References1. ^{{cite web |last1=Curbera |first1=Jaime |last2=Jordan |first2=David |title=Curse Tablets from Pydna |url=http://grbs.library.duke.edu/article/view/1741/6175 |website=Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Studies |publisher=Duke University Libraries |accessdate=14 August 2018}} |
