II. Identification.

(1) = Saturn; see above, also III 2.

(2) = Mercury; ^mulge₆ = zi-ba-ni-tu₄ = min(=^dudu.idim.gu₄.ud) "Dark star = Libra = Mercury" [CT 25, 13, K.4339 rev. col. iv 6], see also [NSAM 2, Text IVb r. 3, IVc:19]. In MUL.APIN II i 59 it says about Mercury: MUL BI BE-ma SA₅ u ba-il₃ BE-ma SIG₇ u GI₆ "This star is either red and shining or yellow-green and dark" [MA, 84]; ^dpap.sukkal which is usually identified with Orion (MUL.APIN I ii 2) seems to be Mercury in the "Great Star List and Miscellenia" [G.86]. The identification with "Libra" may also imply a connection with Saturn, see (Kurtik s10) SAG.UŠ.

(3) = Libra; see above.

III. Astrology.

(1) The Moon and the Dark Star; DIŠ 30 ina IGI.LA₂-šu₂ MUL.MI [...] "If the Moon, at its appearance, (meets) the Dark Star [...]" [NSAM 2, 132, Ve r. 6′]; [...M]UL MI ina SI ZAG-šu₂ GUB u MU[L...] "The dark [star] stands on its (the Moon's) right horn [...]" [NSAM 2, 159, Vt:4′].

(2) The Chariot (= Venus) and the Dark Star (= Saturn); see (Kurtik m08) ^{mul (giš)}MAR.GID₂.DA, eriqqu, VI 7.

вар. чтения: ^mulGIG₂, ^mulMI; = ṣalmu «Темная звезда»; название Сатурна и Меркурия [G. 86]. I. Источники. Лексич. тексты. (1) Серия Ḫg. B VI: ^mulgi₆ = AN^ṣa-al-meDUL₃ = MIN(=^dSAG.UŠ ^dUTU) «Темная звезда = Статуя = Сатурн, (звезда) Солнца» [MSL XI, 40:40; LAS 2, 343]. (2) ^mulgi₆ = MUL ṣal-[me…] [SpTU III, 116 Rs. iii 9]. (3) ^mulgi₆ = zi-ba-ni-tu₄ = ^muludu.idim.gu₄.ud «Темная звезда = Весы = Меркурий» [II R, 57, 59 a, b; G. 86]. (4) ^[mul]gi₆ = ^dzi-[ba-ni-tu₄] [CT 26, 41, K.11283:4; HBA, 22]. (5) ^mulgi₆ [CT 26, 50, K.12619 ii 6]. EAE. См. [Borger 1973, LB 1321 r. 21′; NSAM 2, 248]. «Большой список звезд». ^ulgi₆ = ^dpap.sukkal [Mesop.Astrol., App. B:169]. См. также: MUL.MI : Zi-ba-ni-tu₂ «Темная звезда = Весы» [NSAM 2, 105, IVb: r. 3], MUL_x.MI : Zi-ba-ni-tu₄ [ibid. 107, IVc:19], ^[m]ulMI : ^dUD[U.IDIM.SAG.U]Š : MI : ṣa-la-mu : ^mul₄KASKAL.UTU «Темная (звезда) = Сатурн, MI = «темный» = (звезда) Путь Солнца» [SpTU I, 84:16]. См. [SpTU II, 42 r.10; SpTU V, 264 r. 2]. II. Отождествление. (1) = Сатурн; см. выше, а также III 2. (2) = Меркурий; ^mulge₆ = zi-ba-ni-tu₄ = min(=^dudu.idim.gu₄.ud) «Темная звезда = Весы = Меркурий» [CT 25, 13, K.4339 rev. col. iv 6], см также [NSAM 2, Text IVb r. 3, IVc:19]. B MUL.APIN II i 59 о Меркурии сказано: MUL BI BE-ma SA₅ u ba-il₃ BE-ma SIG₇ u GI₆ «Эта звезда либо красная и блестящая, либо желто-зеленая и темная» [MA, 84]; ^dpap.sukkal, который обычно отождествляется с Орионом (MUL.APIN I ii 2), в «Большом списке звезд» обозначает, по-видимому, Меркурий [G. 86]. Отождествление с «Весами» может подразумевать также связь с Сатурном, см. s10SAG.UŠ. (3) = Весы; см. выше. III. Астрология. (1) Луна и Темная звезда; DIŠ 30 ina IGI.LA₂-šu₂ MUL.MI […] «Если Луна при своем появлении (встретила) Темную звезду […]» [NSAM 2, 132, Ve r. 6′]; […M]UL MI ina SI ZAG-šu₂ GUB u MU[L…] «Темная [зв]езда на ее (Луны) правом роге стоит […]» [NSAM 2, 159, Vt:4′].
