(=BAD) re's marti titu-ra-am ?a sviri ?akin-ma me-sad us"-ta-ha-ak L t-das ui-i-it-ti-mi-e-ja-ni ar-ma-ni-jn-at-ta na-ds. SIG (-lazzija) -

at-ta na-ds-su-ma-as.-ta LL-das ha-at-ga-u-wa-az pi-e-ta-az is.-pa- ar-zi-zi 'if the head of the gall-bladder has a bridge of flesh and its water mingles, the man will be .. . and he will be sound and happy; or2' a man will rise from a secluded place'. The rest of vol. IV is filled with small fragments and supplements to KUB III. IV and KBo I. Of special value is the re-edition of KBo I 27 (KUB IV, p. 50b) which is an Accadian duplicate (like K UB III 85. 89) of the great Telibina-inscription22.

Vol. V, copied by Dr. Walther, is a collection of prophetic texts like KBo II 2, etc., the interpretation of which still offers, at present, considerable difficulties. As these tablets are less valu- able for the average student of Hittite culture, I will not tire the readers of this periodical with a listof corrections which I might offer. I may only call attention to the corroboration of the reading of the name of the prince of MirA 'DIB+BA (?) KAK. TUR (KUB V 6: III 9, 21, 24) =Imas.-hu-i-lu-wa (ib. III 31), which already was suggested by a comparison of KBo IV 7: I 60 (IDIB+BA(?). KAK-wa) and KBo IV 3: I '('DIB. B[A(?). KAK. TUR-wa]) with Imas--hu-lu-wa (KBo V 13: I 12).
