PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • Collation shows that there are minimal traces of a sign before IGI. We suggest reading NA not only because the traces allow for it, but lizards in omens are often seen on or in something belonging to a man. See for example Sm 0710+ 5'.
  • Further, there is part of a sign, just a horizontal line, after LÚ, on Sm 710+ 4’s right-hand edge. We suggest reading GÁL ‘there will be’. Note that the reading is speculative. If a City 2 (188, n. 65 4') omits the two signs, but otherwise reads the line as above.
