PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • Just as in the related previous omen 32.A.41, one would expect the above omen to have a counterpart in the Sultantepe recension. The above omen should be considered together with 32.S.44 (see the commentary there). Again there are difficulties in reconciling the signs as draw on the Sultantepe hand copy with the above omen.
