Abstract
Our knowledge about the omen series šumma ālu ina mēlê šakin has much advanced since the first manuscripts were edited. Even though the overall structure of Šumma ālu is generally well established, the final third of the series still poses considerable problems. In this article we will present a new reconstruction for the sequence from Tablet 80 to 95. As colophons with catchlines and Tablet numbers are scarce for this part of the series, we have developed a new method for the reconstruction mainly relying on clusters of excerpt tablets originating from Nineveh.
