SAA 08 373. New Moon on 1st Day (RMA 041) [lunar]
(1) If the moon at its appearance wears a crown: constantly the harvest of the land will prosper; the land will dwell as if in pastures near the city; the king will reach the highest rank. (5) If at the moon's appearance its right horn becomes long, and its left horn short: the king will conquer a land not his own. — The moon will complete the 30th day. (r 3) If the day reaches its normal length: a reign of long days. (r 5) If the moon becomes visible on the 1st day: good for Akkad, bad for Elam and the Westland. (r 8) From Nabû-šuma-iškun.
