Abstract
For my research project, I continued working with John W. Welch of the BYU Law School, investigating how Roman, Greek, and Jewish law accounted for magic. As part of my research, I traveled through Turkey and Greece searching for sources during the summer of 2012. During my trip, I discovered an important inscription which discusses city laws governing religious and other behavior (and a few more for other research projects I have about baptism for the dead). This inscription, piece 8187 at the epigraphical museum in Athens, is, as far as I know, currently unpublished. As of now, I am still translating the piece, and I will utilize it in further research. Below is a picture of me transcribing the inscription at the epigraphical museum in Athens:
