CTH 573.93

Bird oracle fragment

introductio

Kurzbeschreibung

Small fragment preserving portions of two bird oracle reports. The second report (§2´) refers to the purulli- festival in the oracle protasis; for a similar reference, see the oracle fragment CTH 573.80. The matter investigated in the oracle thus likely relates to the context of cultic celebrations during this festival, and appears to focus particularly on concerns regarding the person of the king (kolon 8).
