CTH 532.8/KUB 8.10 is a small fragment with Hittite lunar omens and perhaps the remains of an associated ritual.

• K.K. Riemschneider, DBH 12, 2004: 77f.

The tablet was copied by E. Weidner in KUB 8 and first edited in Riemschneider K.K. 2004a: 77–78.

A: A roughly triangular piece from the (lower?) left side of a tablet which perhaps once had two or more columns. The remains of 17 lines of cuneiform script are visible.

A: New Script: DA is written without the central broken horizontal, SAR has two verticals forming a box, the first one being noticeably smaller.

Hardly enough is preserved to say more than that the fragment contains lunar omens. The paragraphs are relatively long, which may indicate more complex omens, narrow columns, or several omens combined within a single paragraph. Interestingly, the first visible paragraph on the obverse begins with mān, the second with maḫḫan, and the two paragraphs on the reverse with takku. Since the word SISKUR appears in the line following maḫḫan, it is likely that this passage forms part of a ritual introduction or description. It is quite possible that KUB 8.10 belonged to the same text, or at least to a similar one, as KUB 13.20//KUB 8.30 (CTH 533.6), although this cannot be verified due to the poor state of preservation. What remains of the protases suggests that the text dealt with the behavior of the moon at specific times of day and in relation to the sun.
