  • [If a liz]ard [cr]awls underneath [a man’s] b[ed] and lies down- he will be happy.
PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • See 32.A.32; the two omens have the same protasis and apodosis. The Assur omen syllabically writes ir-­bi­-iṣ instead of NÁ-iṣ ‘lies down’ as above.
  • The last sign is written as BI on the hand copy, but one would expect a GA after DÙG. If a City 2 (184, 32.31) reads DÚG.GA without any comment on the hand copy’s BI.
