Berossus F1: what Oannes taught

what the source states
F1 says Oannes taught men the skills necessary for writing and for mathematics and all sorts of knowledge: "how to build cities, found temples, and make laws", how to determine borders and divide land, how to plant seeds and harvest — in short, all things conducive to a settled and civilised life, and that since then nothing further has been discovered.
what we infer
The 'brings the arts' element of the civiliser template is squarely in the fragment.

an honest empty state

This claim is in the ledger but not in the current edition's featured set. Nothing here has been assessed — that absence is information, not an oversight.

Still missing: plain-language gloss, credibility assessment, diagnosticity assessment, strongest objection, what would change our mind. A claim gains them when an edition features it and the edition's adopted assessment supplies the full treatment — a decision the panel reviews, not a field anyone flips.
