the construction of Astragaloi meant there were varying chances that a particular value would be rolled. The results were then compared to what are known as “dice oracles”. These were scattered throughout the mediterranean and in some cases, such as those found in Anatolia, took the form of large stone pillars. These stone pillars were between 1.6 - 1.7m tall, and 50 – 60 cm wide. These pillars were carved with tables of oracles, corresponding to the numbers rolled on the astragaloi. These ranged from the lowest result of five, consisting of five ones, to the highest result of thirty, consisting of five sixes. Each result also had an attached divinity to it, for example the roll of five ones, statistically the lowest roll due to the construction of the dice, was a favourable roll and was associated with Zeus, with one oracle reading “because Zeus will give good counsel to your mind;”. These Anatolian dice oracles are all set out in a particular format. They address the reader in a first person singular, with an implied narrator and an implied reader. The narrator addresses the reader as if they are interacting, and regularly addresses the reader as ‘stranger’ implying they come from somewhere else, usually with business to be conducted. The business the reader has is either silently or openly expressed to the oracle, and the oracle responds in kind. The text's standard construction of the inquirer then is one who has come from a foreign place to the oracle, puts the business or activities he wants to conduct to the god, and then receives an answer. These answers are mostly positive, with responses like “You will find that for which you are consulting the oracle, and nothing will be bad” or “you will get everything about which you are asking”. There were negative responses as well, such as “The sun has gone down, and terrible night has come. Everything has become dark: interrupt the matter, about which you ask me” but these were less common. Tibetan Dice Divination Tibetan culture contains a wide range of dice divination traditions, some within the buddhist tradition and some outside of it. The most common form uses the standard cubical six sided dice with numbers of pips one through six on each side. Others such as the Sanskrit pāśaka are four sided rectangular dice, and date from the eighth to the tenth
