PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • See also 32.A.14, which has been used to reconstruct the above omen. The omens are very similar, but the Assur omen’s apodosis adds NA BI ‘that man’. As drawn on the Sultantepe hand copy, there is not enough room for NA BI in the above omen and has therefore not been reconstructed. This changes the translation slightly, but not the meaning of the apodosis from that in the Assur omen.
