Our lord, from killing rams, will have aromatic ale (for) Ancestress Geng (and) [announce] the dream.471 Used. 1 modifying pig, it is a place/lineage name. Perhaps it should be associated with Mt. Mang 邙山 just north of Luoyang, Henan 河南洛陽. 469 The noun phrase “Mang’s pigs” occurs once more on 324.5: 己亥卜:子惠今 “Divined on Jihai: It should be today that our lord…uses, it being Mang’s pigs”. Corresponding dates and these two instances as being the only appearances of “Mang’s pigs” makes it rela- tively certain that these two divinations should be synchronized. 470 This divination can be synchronized with the parallel divination 391.7 dated six days later (on Gengchen 庚辰). The divination sequence 391.7-9 confirms that this divination was about what horses to pair and align. 471 The verb gao 告 “announce” seems to have been omitted before the noun meng 夢. 298 | HYZ 317
