PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • The omen 32.S.50 has the same protasis as 32.A.47, its apodosis differs, however.

The hand copy of the Sultantepe manuscript shows traces of extraneous signs in the apodosis. See the commentary at 32.S.50 for a discussion on how these signs may correspond to the above omen’s apodosis. In any case, the two apodoses are linked in meaning.

  • See also 32.A.48 as the two omens are thematically linked, with opposing protases and apodoses.
