PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • The reading of the last sign, x, is from KAL 1 (16-17 Rs. 51’ A51’).
  • We also follow KAL 1 in treating lines VAT 10167 r. 51’ (32.A.120’) and 52’ (32.A.121’) as part of two separate omens. In If a City 2, the two lines are combined into one omen and the final sign of VAT 10167 r. 51’ is read as u ‘and’.

If a City 2 (176-77, *32.48’) reconstructs and translates the resulting omen as follows:

         [DIŠ EME.DIR.MEŠ …] E2 u […] TU-ub
         [If lizards …] house […] will enter.
