It is a ziqpu-star, between the Old Man and the Crook, but the sense of the name if it is in regard to the shape of the asterism is uncertain . The number of stars in this asterism is alternatively given as 6 or 2 (see Fincke-Horowitz 2017: ??PAGE N NEEDED?? . We would follow the total of 6 which appears in the most reliable source (VAT 16436) and so suggest the cluster of mostly 4th magnitude stars behind the Old Man in the direction of the Crook.
