 iiiFnSymT 0  T 1 Lit. “we observed Šiptaši, Pišatenišša …”, with the town names as direct object, thus the implied meaning of <span class='AOHittite'>aušk(e)-</text:span> is ‘to make (oracular) observations in’.
 iiiFnSymT 1  T 2 See also previous note. This interpretation is suggested by the addition of <span class='sGr'>KUR</text:span> to the last toponym, thus we assume a D/L (unmarked) form.
 iiiFnSymT 2  T 3 Lit. “defeat”.
 iiiFnSymT 3  T 4 For this interpretation of the logic of the passage see also Marizza M. 2009a, 109. The change of tense, from preterite (<span class='AOHittite'>ušgawen</text:span>) to present (<span class='AOHittite'>tittanuškanzi</text:span>), implies a temporal sequence, although this is likely a historic present, referring to events prior to the writing of the letter. Note that <span class='AOHittite'>ḫūllai</text:span> (obv. 5) is also present tense, but the connection with the previous sentence through <span class='AOHittite'>nu</text:span> allows to read it on the same temporal level <span class='AO--italic'>ad sensum</text:span>, whereas <span class='AOHittite'>=ma</text:span> (obv. 6) suggests a change of topic/focus into a second stage of events.
 iiiFnSymT 4  T 5 Lit. “push away, reject, repel”. The exact meaning of <span class='AOHittite'>appa tittanuške-</text:span> is unclear in context. For this interpretation see Hout Th.P.J. van den 2001c, 429 (“die Vögel setzen uns zurück”); also Hoffner H.A. 2009a, 180: “the birds were refusing to give us an answer”, Marizza M. 2009a, 109 “… continuano a non darci (un responso)”.
 iiiFnSymT 5  T 6 For an interpretation of <span class='AOHittite'>ēšta</text:span> and <span class='AOHittite'>ḫuīttiat</text:span> (obv. 9) as 2SG see Hoffner H.A. 2009a, 180 (and <span class='AO--italic'>infra</text:span> obv. 14). However, it cannot be ruled out that the two forms are 3SG. In particular, the second verb is a MP voice, thus this is necessarily 3SG.
 iiiFnSymT 6  T 7 For the usage of <span class='AOHittite'>kāša</text:span> in letters see Steitler Ch. 2020b, 368.
 iiiFnSymT 7  T 8 Lit. “it was confirmed to us”.
 iiiFnSymT 8  T 9 Hoffner H.A. 2009a, 180 suggests: “Regarding the campaign …”.
 iiiFnSymT 9  T 10 Cf. the standard form <span class='sGr'>SIG₅</text:span><span class='AOHittite'>-az</text:span> (ABL) “<span class='AO--italic'>from</text:span> the favorable (side)” in obv. 22 and <span class='AO--italic'>passim</text:span>.
 iiiFnSymT 10  T 11 Cf. the instrumental in obv. 27; the meaning must be the same.
 iiiFnSymT 11  T 12 However, the movement might refer to both birds in sequence: “they (both) came from … and (then flew) from…”
 iiiFnSymT 12  T 13 See lo. e. 38.
 iiiFnSymT 13  T 14 Usually …<span class='AOHittite'>=za</text:span> <span class='AOHittite'>〈appa〉 daēr</text:span> (cf. e.g. rev. 48).
 iiiFnSymT 14  T 15 Uncertain syntax: if this is the correct reading, then <span class='del'>[</text:span><span class='AOHittite'>aršint<span class='del'>]</text:span>ara</text:span> would be somehow fronted even before the enclitic chain. There are in fact two cases of double enclitic chain in a sentence shortly after (rev. 50, rev. 51).
 iiiFnSymT 15  T 16 For <span class='AOHittite'>=at</text:span> as 3PL subject (also <span class='AO--italic'>infra</text:span> rev. 55), see Hoffner H.A. 2010c, 129.
 iiiFnSymT 16  T 17 Double enclitic chain!
 iiiFnSymT 17  T 18 Double enclitic chain (see previous line as well).
 iiiFnSymT 18  T 19 Mistake NOM for <span class='AOHittite'>=an</text:span> ACC?
 iiiFnSymT 19  T 20 Phraseological; the meaning seems to be that the eagle reappears in the spot where it previously escaped from sight.
