PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • The above omen has been reconstructed using 32.A.39.
  • Just as in the Assur recension, the above omen is part of a thematic triad in which a lizard falls into an oven (32.S.40 through 32.S.42). While the above omen is related to the preceding 32.S.40, it is more closely paired to 32.S.42, where the only difference in the protasis is the negation of the verb ibšal ‘it burns up’. Note that despite the opposing protases, the apodoses of both omens remain negative.
  • The sign É is fragmentary; just the right-hand edge of the sign remains.
