March. 1 166 As I understand it, and following the ZSKY Editor’s sequence, divination (5), “Our lord test- ed”, is a test on the previously unsuccessful divinations before it. None of the previous four divi- nations produced a judgment (> result), and the sense here is that the patron of the divination organization stepped in making a test divination to try and settle it; see HYZ 191 for another in- stance.
