PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • See 32.S.41 which has been reconstructed from the above omen.
  • The above omen and the subsequent omen have opposing protases, but the apodoses remain negative in both instances. See also 32.A.38; the three omens—32.A.38 through 32.A.40—form a thematic triad in which a lizard falls into an oven.
