We present a corpus consisting of twelve defixionesfrom Selinus and three texts ofdifferent natures. These were bought on the antiquarian market by a private collectorwho allowed us to examine them personally in October 2006 and then gave us the photographsof the objects in order to study them. The characteristics of the materials, suchas the encrustations and the different writing media, suggest a homogeneous discovery,perhaps from a votive dump (a sanctuary context has been assumed). We show the photographsof the materials, focussing on the five texts we have read up to now and onsome very interesting epigraphic details of the others.

Abstract
We present a corpus consisting of twelve defixionesfrom Selinus and three texts ofdifferent natures. These were bought on the antiquarian market by a private collectorwho allowed us to examine them personally in October 2006 and then gave us the photographsof the objects in order to study them. The characteristics of the materials, suchas the encrustations and the different writing media, suggest a homogeneous discovery,perhaps from a votive dump (a sanctuary context has been assumed). We show the photographsof the materials, focussing on the five texts we have read up to now and onsome very interesting epigraphic details of the others.
