PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • The manuscript’s hand copy only shows traces of the bottom edge of the sign read above as E11. The reading is tentative and based on the protasis of the previous omen. Another suggestion would be to mimic 32.N.40’ and read the traces as ˹DU˺.˹DU˺-[ak]. The protasis would be ‘[If a lizard] walks ab[out]’ [on top of a man’s bed]’. The traces are omitted from If a City 2 (184, 32.29).
