PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • See 32.N.5 for a discussion on why 32.N.5 and the above omen (32.N.6) are interpreted here as two separate omens; note that they are presented as one omen in If a City 2 (166-67 and 190, *32.5').
  • Collation reveals that the beginning of the line has traces of signs along the length of K 06912+ 12, leaving room for around seven to nine signs. These are followed by three signs: ˹x˺ mu? and ˹šú˺. This broken section of the line likely describes another characteristic of the lizard. The beginning of K 06912+ 13 is completely broken away, but there would also be room for around seven to nine signs. On the right-hand side of the manuscript it is unlikely that more than a couple of signs are missing from either line.
