PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • The above omen appears to preserve the same omen as 32.A.50. That omen writes EME.DIR, not MIN, and does not include the superfluous <<ana>> in the apodosis.

We have marked ana as a scribal mistake not only because it is not present in 32.A.50, but it is also grammatically superfluous. See also 32.S.56 for another similar omen.
