PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • The above omen has been reconstructed from 32.A.40.
  • As the two omens 32.S.41 and 32.S.42 form an obvious thematic pair, the implied subject of the apodosis in 32.S.42 may presumably be the same house from the previous omen’s apodosis.
  • The above omen is the final omen in a triad of omens about a lizard falling into an oven, see the commentary at 32.S.40.
