 iiiFnSymT 0  T 1 <span class='AOHittite'>-pát</text:span> refers to the two birds which were observed first, rather than to the two eagles (cf. Sakuma Y. 2009b, II, 550).
 iiiFnSymT 1  T 2 A new translation is suggested here for Hitt. <span class='AOHittite'>wara-</text:span>, which means ‘mate, companion (in a pair)’, an adjective rarely attested in singular. Sakuma Y. 2009b (II, 256-257) correctly observed that the word must belong to the semantic sphere of ‘pair’, specifically in reference to birds, but the basic meaning ‘mate (of a pair)’ fits better with the use of the word in both pl. and sg., and the consistent verbal agreement. A translation ‘pair’ remains convenient for the plural. For a complete discussion of this term see Trameri A. 2023a.
 iiiFnSymT 2  T 3 Probably <span class='AOHittite'>ēpper</text:span> here is a mistake for “flew” (<span class='AOHittite'>paer</text:span>), the expected standard formula.
 iiiFnSymT 3  T 4 Or, possibly: “a <span class='del'>[</text:span><span class='AO--italic'>pair of</text:span><span class='del'>]</text:span> <span class='AOHittite'>ḫarrani-</text:span> birds …”. In any case, <span class='AOHittite'>ḫarrani-</text:span> should be in accusative.
 iiiFnSymT 4  T 5 Tentative (lit. “seized it outside”). The formulation <span class='AOHittite'>araḫza ep-</text:span> is attested elsewhere only in the fragment KBo 71.19, 8´. Its exact meaning is hardly clear from context (the passage is mentioned in HW2, E, 69-70).
 iiiFnSymT 5  T 6 On <span class='AOHittite'>gulzašša-</text:span>/<span class='sGr'>GUL</text:span><span class='AOHittite'>-zašša-</text:span> see Starke F. 1990a, 462 (Luw. gen. adj. nom./acc. pl. n. ‘zum Zeichen gehörig’, (…) adverbially ‘einem Zeichen entsprechend/gebend’. Melchert H.C. 1993b, 107: ‘fatefully, ominously’.
 iiiFnSymT 6  T 7 The sentence is somewhat parallel to the previous <span class='AOHittite'>araḫza ep-</text:span> (obv. II 4), with <span class='AOHittite'>andurza</text:span> presumably having the opposite meaning (‘to seize outside’ vs. ‘inside’). For these terms see also the edition of KUB 50.1+ (CTH 573.54).
 iiiFnSymT 7  T 8 CHD L-N, 248b. Cf. Beal R.H. 2002f, 71: “Then it really flew off <span class='AOHittite'>tarwiyallian”</text:span>.
