Bird oracle fragment

introductio



Kurzbeschreibung

This small fragment contains portions of two bird oracle reports. Apparently, the first report does not include an augural response. The second report, although it includes a response, is in part atypical, as it does not contain the augur’s name in the standard formulation (see line 10´; kola 13-14).
