SU 1952, 242 SU 1951, 079+ <ul> <li>The above omen’s counterpart in the Assur recension is <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-32-A-22/tei">32.A.22</a>. While the Assur omen does not include NA BI ‘that man’ in the apodosis, the two omens are otherwise the same.</li> <li>For the interpretation of the apodosis’s verb, issalla’, as ‘he will fall chronically ill’, see the commentary at <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-32-A-22/tei">32.A.22</a>. </li> <li>The final sign of SU 1952, 242 20 must be -a’. The sign indicated on the hand copy, however, more closely resembles MUNUS. As the hand copy shows this part of the tablet is damaged, it is plausible that this is a mistake on the part of the modern copyist.</li> </ul> Further the hand copy confirms the reading -sal (for the second sign in the final verb). The sign is read in If a City 2 (184, 32.20) as -sa. If a City 2 otherwise reads the omen as above.DIŠEME.ŠIDanaUGU{giš}GU.ZANAE11NABIis-sal-la-a'{{copy: MUNUS}}DIŠEME.ŠIDanaUGU{giš}GU.ZANAE11NABIis-sal-la-a'šummaṣurāruanamuḫḫikussiamēliīliamēlušūissalla'that man will be chronically ill.[If a lizard] climbs [on]to a [m]an's sto[ol][If a lizard] climbs [on]to a ma[n's ch]air, he will be infected.
