[EN] A lead tablet, found in Ratcliffe-on-Soar (Nottinghamshire) in 1963, has been published by R. S. O. Tomlin in The Antiquaries Journal, 84, 2004, p. 346-352. This is a defixio written to recover stolen objects. The author’s proposal concerns in particular two words in the tablet which should be read as vernacular. Actually, what R. S. O. Tomlin understood as the formula si m(ulier) au[ t] si b(aro) RIANTINE, P. de B. St. would interpret as si maup(enne) si briantine, a formula concerned with the social status of the thief : it is similar to Latin si servus, si liber, but should rather be understood as «whether humble freeman, or nobleman ».
