JERUSALEM—Archaeologists with the Israel Antiquities Authority discovered a 1,700-year-old lead tablet while excavating a collapsed Roman mansion in an area of Jerusalem known as the "City of David." There appears to be a curse written on the tablet in Greek, in which a woman, Kyrilla, condemns a man named Iennys over a legal dispute. Scholars believe that the tablet might have been created by a professional magician.
