Abstract


The article is devoted to examining readings and establishing the text of one Bosporan magic tablet from Panticapaeum. The author proposes a new text of the inscription with a critical apparatus and discusses a new interpretation of this monument given recently by Eleni Chronopoulou against the broader background of ancient magical practice.
