VAT 09906 <ul> <li>The above omen appears to preserve the same omen as <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-32-A-50/tei">32.A.50</a>. That omen writes EME.DIR, not MIN, and does not include the superfluous <<ana>> in the apodosis.</li> </ul> We have marked ana as a scribal mistake not only because it is not present in <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-32-A-50/tei">32.A.50</a>, but it is also grammatically superfluous. See also <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-32-S-56/tei">32.S.56</a> for another similar omen.DIŠDIŠMINMINinainaUGUUGUNANADU.DUDU.DUU4.MEŠ-šuU4.MEŠ-šuGÍD.DA.MEŠGÍD.DA.MEŠanaanaINIMINIMSIG5SIG5GAR-šúGAR-šúDIŠMIN(EME.DIR)inaUGUNADU.DUU4.MEŠ-šuGÍD.DA.MEŠINIMSIG5GAR-šúšummaMIN(ṣurāru)inamuḫḫiamēliittallakūmūšuirrikūamātdamiqtiiššakkanšuhis days will be long; a good message will be established for hi[m].If ditto (= a lizard) repeatedly walks about on a man
