NIN.GIRIM3
I need to look at this back in Jerusalem???
mulNIN.GIRIM3 (𒀯𒊩𒌆𒀀𒄩𒋻𒁺) is the astral manifestation of the goddess of the same name. The star-name occurs just the once, in the Great Star List, there identfied with the goddess Išhara who is identified in the Astrolabe tradition and elsewhere with 'The Scorpion' (Scorpio) (Horowitz 2014: 112). There is no clear evidence for an identification of Ningirim with Venus as had been previously suggested????

II. Deity.
Ningirim is an ancient Sumerian goddess whose name has been known since the time of Fara (XXVI century B.C.) [Krebernik 1984[8], 233 ff.; 2000a, 363]. In divine genealogies, she is characterized ambiguously: as the daughter or sister of Enlil, as the daughter of Ninurta or Enki, as the sister of the deity of "holy water" [ibid.] Among her epithets are bēlet šipti "Lady of the spell," bēlet tēlilti "Lady of purification," egi-zi-gal-an-na "Great, righteous Lady of the sky" [ibid., 241-242, 255]. Originally associated with water, fish, and the serpent deity Irhan [ibid.]. In the Old Akkadian period there was a temple dedicated to her [TCS 3[9], no. 19]. See also [Lambert 2013[3], 431-432].

| вар. чтения: mulNIN.A.ḪA.KUD/TAR.DU; в астрономических текстах, по-видимому, эпитет Венеры, как богини Ишхары, которая иногда отождествлялась с Иштар(?) [G. 314; Tallqvist 1938, 397–398; Lambert 2013, 431–432; Litke 1998, 63ff.; Goetze 1945, 234; 1955, 17; Biggs 1967, 43–44; Krebernik 2000а].
I. Источники. «Большой список звезд». mulnin.girim3 = be-let te-lil-ti / diš-ḫa-ra «Нингирим = Госпожа очищения, Ишхара» [Mesop.Astrol., App. B: 39]. II. Божество. Нингирим — древняя шумерская богиня, имя которой известно со времени Фары (XXVI в. до н.э.) [Krebernik 1984, 233 ff.; 2000а, 363]. В божественных генеалогиях характеризуется неоднозначно: как дочь или сестра Энлиля, как дочь Нинурты или Энки, как сестра божества «святой воды» [ibid.]. Среди ее эпитетов bēlet šipti «Госпожа заклинания», bēlet tēlilti «Госпожа очищения», egi-zi-gal-an-na «Великая праведная госпожа небес» [ibid., 241–242, 255]. Первоначально была связана с водой, рыбой и змеиным божеством Ирханом [ibid.]. В староаккадский период существовал посвященный ей храм [TCS 3, № 19]. См. также [Lambert 2013, 431–432]. |
