PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • The signs read as ˹is˺ and ˹ḫi˺ above are difficult to interpret. They may be a scribal mistake or as suggested by If a City 2 (186, n. 50), they may be an erasure of É and ŠE, linking the omen to 32.A.47 (If a City 2, 200, *32.108'). The suggestion is logical as the two omens share the same protasis and their apodoses are thematically related.
  • See also 32.S.51 as the two omens are thematically linked, with opposing protases and apodoses.
