Astronomical text - Seleucid period (330 BC - 138 BC) - Uruk (Warka). Contains astrological omens of a horoscopic type: some based on the birth of an individual and determining his future life; others relating to state affairs. (image from wikiCommons)
Astrolab O176r = TCL 6 13 (Plate XXIX in Horowitz 2014).

ulBI.GIR3 is the currently accepted reading for an asterism in the circular diagram on the reverse of O. [TCL[2] 6, 13 i; Rochberg-Halton 1987b[3], 224-226].

Photographs of the obverse and reverse of  TCL 6 13 (O 176) in the Musées royaux d’art et d’histoire (Brussels) are available in Horowitz 2014[4]: pl. XXVIII-XXIX. 

The photographs (right) cannot confirm the reading given by Rochberg-Halton on the basis of the handcopy TCL 6 13. It is not completely certain that this is a star-name.
