...If an eclipse occurs, but it is not observed in the capital, such an eclipse is considered not to have occurred. "The capital" means the city in which the Pharaoh happens to be staying. Now, there were clouds everywhere; we thus do not know whether the eclipse did or did not occur. The lord of all kings should write to the Northern Tribes and to all oasis-villages such as Mephet, Nener, Sippa. Possibly it was observed in these places. The Pharaoh should also watch out for the regular reports...

...I have already written everything to Your Majesty concerning the portent of an eclipse that occurred in the months of rains. And as to the apotropaic rites for the eclipse which they have already performed, what harm can be done even if the eclipse did not take place. It is advantageous to perform the rites; the Pharaoh should therefore not send the experts away. The great gods who live in the city of Your Majesty have covered the sky and have thus not shown the eclipse. This is what the Pharaoh should know: to wit, that this eclipse has no relation to

Your Majesty or his country. On this account the king should be happy... 

PS: If the storm god Athuh thunders in the first month of rains it means the small barley crop will diminish.
