Abstract: The following presents an edition of a heretofore-unpublished OB omen collection concerning the padanum, or “Path.” As may be expected, this text, larger than most of the known paddanum collections, enhances our understand- ing of the zone in Mesopotamian extispicy known by that name, typically the second according to the standardized in- spection sequence. An examination of the text, however, reveals an interweaving of omens concerning other zones bearing the label of “Path.” This interweaving raises questions about the development of extispicy literature in this period and challenges conceptions concerning its standardization — from a new perspective. b Physical Description and Measurements
