Relating to my Oracle Bone Question on the History Stack, and using this link droooze provided, can someone please translate these for me (keeping the brackets and the "..."):
11503.正
癸 囗 [ 卜 囗 貞 ] 。。。丙 。 。 。 𢀛 。 。 。
癸 丑 卜 爭 [ 貞 ] 。 。 。 [ 嬄 ] 。 。 。
11503.反
。 。 。 七 日 己 巳 夕 𥂦 。 。 。 㞢 新 大 晶 竝 火 。 。 。
。 。 。 [ 㞢 ] 求 其 㞢 來 嬄 。 。 。 不 吉
Am I correct in thinking 正 means the top of the bone and 反 means the underside?
Can it be speculated what the missing characters that would fill the "..." should be or could be?
Images added for those who - like me - cannot see all the characters on their phone:
正 :
反 :
This website writes: "The inscriptions include the oldest observation of a nova (1300BCE) ‘A great new star appeared in company with 心宿二 xīn xiù èr (Antares, in Scorpio)’ is recorded on the bones."
Also, out of interest, does anyone know which bone it is from the Ox's skeleton? Sacrum? Scapula?
