This work is mental, but no less difficult. Something like a modern copywriter. If you wanted to wish someone disgusting, you ordered a sign from him and carried to the temple. It was believed that a deity could read such a tablet and accomplish what is written there.
The unfortunate scribbler half a day listened to the complaints of the guests, and the second half - sculpted terrifying curses. Fortunately, many of these plates survived. Here is one of them: "Paralyze all the limbs and joints of Victorius, the driver of the Blue team ... of all his horses ... blind their eyes so that they cannot see, and darken their souls and hearts so that they cannot breathe."
