PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • The protasis has been reconstructed from 32.S.10. Instead of acquiring Á.TUK ‘profit’, as above, the man in the Sultantepe omen acquires NÍG.TUK ‘riches’. Another two omens where Á.TUK ‘profit’ and NÍG.TUK ‘riches’ are differentiated, though the omens are otherwise the same are 32.A.15 and 32.S.12.
