PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY

• The remnants of the broken sign before u₄-me are three partial vertical wedges. We suggest the reconstruction EN.NU]N u₄-me as day watches occur in two other apodoses: 32.A.21 and 32.S.19. The broken sign is read as x in If a City 2 (191, *32.24’, A i 2’). Though the current line is too damaged to be certain, several of the fragmentary endings in this section of the Nineveh recension match omens in the upper teens and low twenties of the Assur recension.
