This augur’s name, ending in [ ]x-ni, cannot be restored securely. Sakuma considered the option of mistaken spellings of the names Ašpinani (maš-pí-n]a!-ni) or Wanni (mwa-a]n!-ni) (Sakuma Y. 2009b, II 338), but other augurs’ names ending in -ni are available (e.g. Annanni, Armanani). As another possibility, we could consider a name, otherwise unattested among the known augurs, ending in [… -w]ani.

This response is partially written above an erased text, originally stating the opposite results (see the partially erased signs -eš-šer, visible close to the edge of the tablet).
