2^nd page, 3^rd paragraph, the quotation from the book under review should read:

As L. states: ‘There are some similarities, to be sure, but many ancient and modern cultures have independently developed ritual practices that involve the use of spells, incantations, figurines, nails, animals, and other materia magica; such rites seem to be cross-cultural, ubiquitous, and deeply human, and in this sense we need not expect external influence for the emergence of curse rituals in the Greek world’ (p. 59).

The author apologises for the error.
