Bird oracle fragment with a reference to spoils and enemies

introductio



Kurzbeschreibung

Fragment containing portions of two paragraphs of a bird oracle text. The reports do not appear typical, as the description of bird flights includes additional details, such as references to an 'enemy' (line 4´) and to 'spoils' (lines 2´ and 12´). However, the context of these references remains unclear due to the fragmentary state of the tablet. Several lines are only partially readable, and their reconstruction is difficult.
