CTH 532.3

Hittite lunar eclipse omens: a forerunner to EAE 22

exemplar I (KBo 13.18)



This omen is spaced out over four lines in KUB 8.1. From l. 7′-8′, we can surmise that the lines in this column contained between 20 and 30 signs. If the reading na-p[a in 2′ is correct, line 1′ would have contained more than 40 signs. Either the apodosis here was shorter or the scribe used more logograms or used the edge or reverse. The same is true for l. 3′.
