Kurzbeschreibung |
|
Fragment with a bird oracle report from Šamuḫa/Kayalıpınar. Due to the poor state of preservation, very little of the text survives, and most of it is quite difficult to read. The content of obv. 6´-8´ clearly belongs to descriptions of bird flights, based on the standard formulary. The content of the previous lines obv. 1´-5´ cannot be determined, but it may be an oracle question/protasis.
