  • If ditto (= a lizard) falls into a vinegar jug and does not die- construction{!} of a house.
PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • Omen sequences about lizards falling into vessels for holding liquids occur in both the Assur and Sultantepe recensions. 
  • The sign E of e!-peš ‘construction’ has too many vertical wedges. It looks like a cross between the signs E and É.
  • A similar protasis (without mention of the lizard survival) occurs in 32.A.43 and 32.S.45.
