PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
- If a City 2 (192, 32.41’, Ex(3)r.7’) includes K 06912+ r. 8’ with the above omen (32.N.41’), but the line seems a better fit with 32.N.42’. Note, however, that despite including K 06912+ r. 8’ with the above omen, the footnote referring to the line is placed under 32.N.42’ (If a City 2, 170, n. 42’).
- The above omen’s protasis is quoted in the commentary text K 1 r. 17 (CT 41 26-27; CCP 3.5.30 - Ālu 30-32 (“27-30”)), which reads:
|
|
DAB.DAB-ta-ma |
|
ti-iṣ-bu-ta-ma |
|
|
DAB.DAB-ta-ma |
means |
to hold one another |
We have normalized the verb as tiṣbutāma, the Gt stative of ṣabātu ‘to seize’. See also CAD Ṣ, 35 s.v. ṣabātu 9a 2’c, which mentions both the above omen and the commentary text. Readings and translation from (Jiménez 2016, CCP 3.5.30 - Ālu 30-32 (“27-30”), 52)
The same commentary text is mentioned in If a City 2 (170, n. 42’). Although it is placed incorrectly with 32.N.42’.
The commentary text is followed by 6 lines (r. 18-r. 23), which have not been placed.
- In K 02708+ i 17’, the signs DAB.DAB are badly damaged, but the remnants on the manuscript allow for the reading. There are at least three heads of vertical wedges and evidence of horizontal wedges.
