From the Getty Museum record

This lead lamella, a tabella defixionis (curse tablet), has two columns of Latin inscriptions. The column on the left consists of six names, and on the right a curse in eight lines. A fracture runs diagonally through the middle. The lamella was originally folded and pierced with two iron nails, now heavily corroded. The inscription has been translated as a curse against runaway slaves.
