	This star-name occurs only one time in ‘The Hilprecht Text’, HS 245 as the 7th and last star in the sequence beginning with the Moon and mul.mul (Pleiades) (Horowitz 2014: 234-235): 4 ad <sup>mul</sup>GIR<sub>2</sub>.TAB ~~mulAN~~.TA.GUB, ‘4 (units) from ‘The Scorpion’ to AN.TA.GUB.

This star-name occurs only one time in ‘The Hilprecht Text’, HS 245 as the 7th and last star in the sequence beginning with the Moon and mul.mul (Pleiades) (Horowitz 2014: 234-235): 4 ad <sup>mul</sup>GIR<sub>2</sub>.TAB <sup>mul</sup>AN.TA.GUB, ‘4 (units) from ‘The Scorpion’ to AN.TA.GUB.

	Horowitz 2017 suggested a different reading of the GUB-sign yielding a star-name, <sup>mul</sup>AN.TA.RE<sub>6</sub>, with the sense of it moves up nd down, referring to the up-down movement of the stinger of the scorpion as it moves its stinger from an at rest position to attack mode. Horowitz speculates that this may be the ultimate origin of the classical Greek star name Antares in Scorpius. Later parallels to the Hilprecht Text remove this star-name (Horowitz 2014: 236). In any case, there is no clear connection between the star-name and the groups of stars known as AN.GUB.BA = ''angubbû''- or [[DINGIR.GUB.BA]]-stars or AN.TA.GUB.BA in Nv 10.
