PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
- If a City 2 (177, *32.50’) uses another reading of the signs ZI.GA to translate the above as follows:
[If lizards …] evil losses.
While the signs ZI.GA can be interpreted as ṣitu ‘loss’, we do not know of any attestations of the phrase ‘evil losses’ written so. See also CAD L, 128 s.v. lemuttu for for the phrase tībi le-mu-ut-tim ‘a dangerous invasion’. For commentary on the multiple interpretations of ZI(.GA), see the commentary at 32.N.49' and 32.A.38.
