The volume contains editions of 35 applied magic texts: 20 from Caesarea Maritima, a chance find from the same ancient city, 11 curses from Antioch. Most of them are circus curses, but there is also a spell to prevent the flight of a slave, another directed against a pantomime dancer, a juristic curse, four commercial curses, and a silver amulet against epilepsy.
