PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • The above omen is notably similar to 32.S.34. The Sultantepe hand copy, however, shows the apodosis’s verb as being ŠUB-šú. See the Sultantepe omen’s commentary for a discussion about the problematic verb as well as a discussion on similar omens in the medical-diagnostic omen series SA.GIG and in Chapter 33 on geckos.
  • Upon collation of K 06912+ r. 3’, the third sign is a broken ana and not ina as read in If a City 2 (192, 32.35’, Ex(3)).
  • See the commentary at 32.N.11 for a list of lizard omens involving illness.
