<p>Omens <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-38-29-/tei">38.29'</a> and 38.30' are different from the rest of the omens from chapter 38 in that the subject of the protasis is not the animal, but rather the man. See the comment to <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-38-29-/tei">38.29'</a>. Parallel protases which describe the encounters between a man and an animal in various contexts appear at several places in the series <em>Šumma ālu</em>. For protases similar to this one, see De Zorzi (2009, 108-112). Note that <a href="https://tieromina.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/omens/Omen-38-29-/tei">38.29'</a>-30' are enclosed between two horizontal rulings on K 06315+.</p>
<p>It seems that K 03726+ preserves a different version of the apodosis, but the text is too fragmentary to be certain.</p>DIŠDIŠDIŠDIŠDIŠLÚLÚLU2LÚLÚEGIREGIREGIR…EGIREGIRDINGIR-šú…DINGIR-šúDINGIR-šúDINGIR-šúZI-ma…ZI-ma…ZI-maUR.MEUR.MEUR.MEUR.ME……IGIIGIIGI(ruling)(ruling)(ruling)(ruling)(ruling)(ruling)(indent)LÚLU2LÚBIBIBIina{?}inaKASKAL{?}KASKALKASKAL…NUi-ḫad-dui-ḫad-dui-ḫad-du…DU-maGURDIŠLÚEGIRDINGIR-šúZI-maUR.MEIGILÚBIKASKALNUGURDU-mai-ḫad-dušummaamēluarkiilišuitbīmasāmānaīmuramēlušūḫarrānlātâriillakmaiḫadduthat man will go on a journey of no return but he will rejoice.If a man goes after his god and sees a blister beetleIf a man going after his god sees moths, that man will go on a road of no return but he will rejoice.
