PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • The photograph of VAT 10167 has traces of a number of signs after ŠU]B.MEŠ-ma. The sign read as NU? above is read as ina by both KAL 1 (16-17, Rs. 41’ A41’) and If a City 2 (196, *32.39’ C41’). The photograph shows what appears to be the head of a upward facing diagonal wedge which fits more with the sign NU than ina. The remaining signs are faint and difficult to read. While the signs DU8.MEŠ ‘separate’ fit with the traces and the omen sequence, the reading is somewhat speculative.
