text breaks off

The form with geminated t also appears in the Akkadian manuscripts of the solar omen text CTH 534.1. Perfect forms in šumma-clauses are rare, and it it possible that the text had no introductory conjunction like CTH 532.9. The varying position of antallû on the tablet shows that the omens must have started with something other than the word of eclipse, however.
