PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
The obverse of MLC 01867 breaks off after this omen. Collation of MLC 01867 16 has revealed traces of several unreadable signs in the break.
From the next omen until the end of the UR.ME section (38.30'), our sequence differs significantly from that of If a City 2, 283-84, 38.16-*38.31'. Collation of the preserved manuscripts has allowed us to correct several incorrect readings and propose new combinations and placements. For details, see the introduction to chapter 38 and the comments to the individual omens.
For a possible explanation of the positive meaning of this omen, see the commentary to 38.15.
