    The Pella curse tablet is mentioned in the Oxford Classical Dictionary article by Masson, if I remember correctly. It's in a form of NW Greek, which has had a big impact on conceptions of what it was the ancient Macedonians spoke and why Athenians had such trouble understanding them.

    If anybody can post details about when it was first published and what people are saying about the language, that would be terrific.
