Gernot Wilhelm, Silvan Kosˇak, and Jared Miller of the Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur, Mainz, are thanked for the permission to use the Bopazköy archive. KBo. 36, 47 was collated from the archive’s photographs on Oct-ober 17, 2005; the photographs are now available on the Hethitologie Portal Mainz, Konkordanz der hethitischen Texte website (http://www.hethport.uni-wuerzburg.de/ hetkonk/). Abbreviations follow the CAD and the CHD; in addition, notice Emar = Arnaud 1985–87. This research was made possible by the support of the Israel Science Foundation, Grant no. 1072/05. 1 Nils Heeßel informs me that there are a few additional manuscripts of sˇumma immeru omens as yet unpublished; here only the published materials are dealt with. 2 The Old Babylonian manuscripts are YOS 10 47, 48 and 49; VAT 9518 edited by Ebeling (1931) in his Tod und Leben (i.e., TuL), no. 9, pp. 41–44, although found in Assur (Weid-ner 1953, 200, w), exhibits compositional and orthographical traits which are common Zeitschr. f.

N2 - This article presents editions of KBo. 36, 47 and KBo. 42, 116, both fragments of Akkadian omens found in attuša. KBo. 42, 116 is identified as a fragment of šumma immeru omens. KBo. 36, 47 obverse is demonstrated to be an Akkadian šumma immeru omen text almost identical to the Emar šumma immeru recension. Its reverse is proven to be an Akkadian recension of šumma ālu omens that can be identified with Tablet 41 of the canonical šumma ālu series. This invites us to discuss the textual history of these omen genres and their transmission to the so-called Western Periphery.
