<li>See also the commentary at <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-32-A-33/tei">32.A.33</a> for the reconstruction of the above protasis as well as the interpretation and translation of <em>maqātu</em> in the context of illness. The commentary there also adresses the problems with translating ŠUB-<em>ut </em>as ‘fall (away)’ as was done in <em>If a City</em> 2 (185, 32.33). The Assur omen omits GIG BI ‘that sick (man)’ from its apodosis, but it otherwise duplicates the above.</li>
<li>The above omen and <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-32-S-34/tei">32.S.34</a> are thematic variants with antithetical protases. See the latter’s commentary for a discussion of similar omens in the medical-diagnostic series SA.GIG.</li>
<li>The commentary at <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-32-N-11/tei">32.N.11</a> lists the lizard omens touching on the topic of illness.</li>
