PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • The last sign is fragmentary and while the traces fit with the sign KU4, read above as tu, it is unlikely that the verb KU4 ‘to enter’ would be repeated twice in the protasis. It has therefore not been translated. KAL 1 (16-17, 73 Rs. 10’) also leaves the sign untranslated. If a City 2 (173, *32.10’) translates the sign as ‘goes in’. Also as the text on the manuscript does not indicate any accusative object pronoun, If a City 2’s translation of ÍL-ma as ‘raises it’ does not fit.
