<p style="margin-left:48px">We have normalized the verb as <em>tiṣbutāma, </em>the Gt stative of <em>ṣabātu </em>‘to seize’. See also CAD Ṣ, 35 s.v. <em>ṣabātu</em> 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)</p>

<p style="margin-left:48px">The commentary text is followed by 6 lines (<em>r.</em> 18-<em>r.</em> 23), which have not been placed.</p>
