PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • Manuscript K 03730+ breaks off after the above omen. As the top edge of K 02708+ is also broken, there is a gap in the omen sequence of unknown size.
  • Since K 03730+ 43 is located along the bottom edge of the manuscript, many of the signs are broken. The sign before DINGIR appears to be the end of a BI. This sign is read as x by If a City 2 (194, 32.65’, Ex(1)).
  • The phrase DINGIR TUK-ši, translated above as ‘will acquire a god’, can also have the idiomatic sense of ‘to find luck’ as If a City 2 (173, 32.65’) translates it. See CAD R, 194 s.v. rašû A.
