In this fragment of bird oracles, the text mentions the Tawannanna (kolon 7) and (most likely) angry deities (k. 8). Thus, the oracle procedure may have included an investigation about the queen, after the discovery of the anger of certain gods, likely revealed through oracles. Notably, one of the following paragraphs mentions someone becoming ill (k. 18, ištarakzi), possibly the Tawannanna herself, although this is not certain.
The section k. 9–12, based on the recognizable content, appears to contain sentences from a flight description. However, if that is the case, at least some of the terminology and formulary would be unusual; andan (k. 11), for example, does not appear in the standard formulary. In another paragraph, the meaning of sentence k. 21 is also partially unclear.

This fragment contains two sections of text belonging to separate columns. We can read the end of approximately twelve lines of text from the left column, and the beginning of an equal number of lines from the right column. The surface of the tablet is weathered in some areas, making certain signs difficult to read.

Tentative dating NS (jh.); diagnostic signs: DA(?), IT(?), TAR(?). The poor state of preservation of the fragment, and its small size, do not allow a meaningful palaeographic analysis.
