PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
- The reconstructed parts of the above protasis are based on 32.S.54, as the two omens show similarities. Whereas the above protasis’s verb is written in the singular i-du-ul, the Sultantepe omen’s protasis has an unexpected ‘u’ at the end (i-du-lu)—likely indicating a plural subject. It is therefore conceivable that the two omens have differing apodoses and so the above apodosis has not been reconstructed from 32.S.54.
