<p>The commentary text BM 129092 includes a commentary for omen 22.5 (see <a href="https://ccp.yale.edu/P461301">CCP 3.5.22.A.b</a>, 4):</p>
<div style="background:#eeeeee; border:1px solid #cccccc; padding:5px 10px">˹x˺ ˹x˺ ˹x˺ [...] ˹NA˺ ŠUB <em>šá it-ti</em> MUŠ.SAG.[KAL ...] ˹x˺ ŠÀ an [x (x)]</div>
<div style="background:#eeeeee; border:1px solid #cccccc; padding:5px 10px">... [<em>ana</em>? …] <em>amēli imqut ša itti ṣarṣ</em>[<em>ari </em>...] ... <em>libbi </em>… […]It falls [on? …] of a man (refers to the snake) who together with a <em>ṣarṣ</em>[<em>ari</em>-snake …] … […] (BM 129092 4).</div>
<p>Because the quoted apodosis is broken in BM 129092, the commentary could be a reference to any of seven different omens (omens 22.5-12). Omens 22.5-7 have <em>ana muḫḫi amēli imqut</em>, omen 22.8 has <em>ana pān amēli imqut</em>, omens 22.9-10 have <em>ana arki amēli imqut</em>, omen 22.11 has <em>ana imitti amēli imqut</em>, and omen 12 has <em>ana šumēl amēli imqut</em>. The subsequent commentary in line 5 can be clearly related to omen 22.11. Therefore the commentary in line 4 probably does not comment on either omen 22.11 or omen 22.12.</p>
