<p>In <em>If a City</em> 2 (275-76 and 283-84, *38.27'), this omen is followed by an omen regarding a blister beetle entering a man's lap and an omen about a blister beetle stinging a man (*38.28'-29'). In the present edition, these omens are placed earlier in the sequence as omens <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-38-17-/tei">38.17'</a> and <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-38-18-/tei">38.18'</a>. See the comment to <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-38-17-/tei">38.17'</a>.</p>
<p>Note the association between the mention of a man's foot in the protasis and the reference to a journey in the apodosis. See also <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-38-27-/tei">38.27'</a>.</p>
