Transcriber's Note

- - represents italic text; = = represents bold text; + + represents strong text, sans serif. ^ denotes a superscript.

| inserted by the author to represent the end of a line of carving on a document or monument. Sometimes | occurs in the middle of a word, indicating the word has been split by a line-break.

In the all-caps Greek text, the book preserves some different Greek letter-forms.

Compare the capital theta with a cross at the top of p. 77, and theta with a dot at the bottom of p. 130.

There is a V-like upsilon on p. 77, l. 7, and Y-like upsilon on p. 77, l. 12.

There is a capital lunate sigma, and an alpha with a v-shaped crossbar on p. 202 ... and on p. 161, as a marking in silver on an ounce weight with another symbol.

And there is the zeta like a rotated H on p. 6, and an upper and lower case Koppa (Qoppa), and the Digamma (wau, stigm).

C.I.L. is abbreviation for '_Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum_'.

'Inscrr.', 'reff.': a double consonant signifies plural.

Some missing or damaged punctuation has been repaired.

Any illustration which intersected a paragraph, e.g., at a page turn, has been moved to a more convenient position.

Page 20: (.··) corrected to (···) for consistency.

Page 56: 'suppose' corrected to 'supposed'.

"... _defixiones_, because they were supposed to fix down, as it were, the hated enemy."

Page 64 (Footnote 32): A colon : has been used to represent the triple vertical dots (a punctuation mark, much like a colon) after [Greek: "Eksoida(s) m'anethêke Diwos qouroin megaloio]"

Page 103: Spearbutts; p. 104: Spear-Butts. Both retained.

Page 111: Superfluous 'a' removed.

Page 114: 'emall' corrected to 'small'.

Numerous other instances of words being sometimes hyphenated and sometimes un-hyphenated appear in the text. All have been retained.

Page 152: "the keyhole is in the shape" (of an inverted right-angle, represented by) |¯.

From Wikipedia (https: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digamma):

Digamma, waw, or wau (uppercase: (F), lowercase: (F), numeral: [Greek: st]) is an archaic letter of the Greek alphabet. It originally stood for the sound /w/ but it has principally remained in use as a Greek numeral for 6.

Whereas it was originally called waw or wau, its most common appellation in classical Greek is digamma; as a numeral, it was called epis[=e]mon during the Byzantine era and is now known as stigma after the value of the Byzantine ligature combining [Greek: s-t] ... In modern Greek, this is often replaced by the digraph [Greek: st].

([=e] represents e-macron)
