CTH 581.18

Small tablet with oracular content

introductio



Short description

Fragment of small rounded tablet. Based on the partially preserved beginning of the text, and the last line consisting only of the oracular determination (SIG₅ ‘favorable’), it seems unlikely this text is a letter. It is more likely an individual oracle report (Güterbock H.G. 1971a, vi: “Orakelberichte auf Kleintafeln”).
