For example, Moppert has published, in the Journal Asiatique, the translation of a tablet which contains on its two sides several scores of birth-portents, a few of which maybe quoted at random: "When a woman bears a child and it has the ears of a lion, a strong king is in the country." "When a woman bears a child and it has a bird's beak, that country is oppressed."
