	'''''Al Birdhaun''''' '''البرذون''' ''/ '' is an Arabian star name ~~for~~ ''~~ε Cen~~'', ~~a 2~~.~~29 mag star in [[Centaurus]]~~.		'''''Al Birdhaun''''' '''البرذون''' ''/ '' was suggested as an Arabian star name. ''al-Birḍawn'' is indeed an Arabic word « le Cheval de somme ». It is quoted in Laffitte (2012) from historical dictionaries, e.g. Allen (1899) but likely accidentally invented by one of his sources.

			* al-Battānī, al-Ṣūfī and al-Bīrūnī: no mention.
			* Allen (1899) in the discussion of Lupus pg 278 - 279 says this: "Caesius said that in Persia it was '''Bridemif''', but Hyde, commenting on p279 this from Albumasar, asserted that the word should be '''Birdūn''', the Pack-horse, and was really intended for the Centaur."
			* ''Introductorium astronomiam Albumasaris'', ed. 1506, and checked the texts of Scaliger, Grotius and Caesius: no one actually gives ''al-birḍun'' but only Caesius indicates ''Bredemis''.
			* Golius gives in ''Lexicon Arabico-Latinum'', page 286 : ''al-Birdawn'' = ''jumentum''. So, whether or not it was inserted into Hyde‘s work, it is unlikely that this author, any more than his predecessors, invented this name.
