() () () () () () () 2 Divined on Bing: Our lord should strike fear into defense officers234 in Sui.235 1 Divined on Bing: Our lord ought not strike fear into defense officers in Sui. 1 231 An alternate reading is Our lord has recovered from this illness. 232 The transcription follows Sun Yabing 2011a: 36, note 2. Starting from Bing perhaps should be explained as starting (a ritual action like exorcism rites) from Bing-day ancestors. The problem is the missing graphs after and before . 233 As a modifier for livestock sheng means newborns, just as the oracle bone phrase sheng yue means new moon (/month). The phrase yi sheng take newborns occurs on 488.2. 234 is often read , and explained as officers or servicemen who handled various sorts of affairs . (Xu Jinxiong (2001: 12. 212-218) defines it .) People called occur frequently in the Shangshu, and Yang Junru (2005: 237) explains the term as, officers who handle affairs for regional lords . In the Shijing (for instance Song gao (Mao 259)), the Mao commentary glosses as an officer who handles affairs. The graph () is most frequently used write the word de- fend, exorcise, protect in divinations about exorcism rites and sending troops to defend the border yu fang (). Since officers called were clearly associated with military affairs (see for instance HJ 28089r, HJ 1075rv, HJ 1078, and HJ 4203), I propose to read as de- fense officers (). 235 As the object of the preposition yu and before the compound noun , is a modifier and a place name. The phrase yu Sui yushi (prep. + place name + title) is grammati- cally parallel with zai Qiao mu Herdsmen at Qiao (HJ 32616, HJ 35240). HYZ 116 | 165 Divined on Jimao, at You: If our lord enters Jiu*,236 (it) will be favorable.
