Balu(m) is a name of Mars in the Great Star List and the lexical tradition. The name also occurs as an asterism in the vicinity of the Pleiades, replacing a name of Orion in first millennium parallels to the Hilprecth Text (HS 245). See [Horowitz 2014, 234]. This could have been understood as Mars in Orion. |

Balu(m) is a name of Mars in the Great Star List and the lexical tradition. The name also occurs as an asterism in the vicinity of the Pleiades, replacing a name of Orion in first millennium parallels to the Hilprecth Text (HS 245). See [Horowitz 2014, 234]. This could have been understood as Mars in Orion.
Dictionary
Kurtik with Hilder, Hoffmann, Horowitz, Kim
An Akkadian parallel to mulNU.ME.A, "(Asterism) of Oblivion", lit. "having no me";
- 1) an epithet of Mars reflecting its nihilistic character as it was perceived in Mesopotamian astrology,
- 2) a constellation (?) [G. 304; AHw, 100; CAD B, 70; Reynolds 1998, 353].

Kurtik (b05) Bālu(m)аккадская параллель к mulNU.ME.A, «(Звезда) небытия», букв. «не имеющая ме»; 1) эпитет Марса, отражающий его нигилистический характер, как он воспринимался в месопотамской астрологии, 2) созвездие (?) [G. 304; AHw, 100; CAD B, 70; Reynolds 1998, 353]. I. Источники. Лексич. тексты. Cерия Ḫg. B VI (в списке имен Марса): mulnu.me.a = ba-lum = min(=dṣal-[bat-a-nu]) «Небытие = недостаток (отсутствие, букв. ʻбезʼ) = ditto (=Марс)» [MSL XI, 40:31]. EAE. Комментарий: dši2-mut mulṣal-bat-a-nu ša2-niš dba-lu šal-m[u] mulud.ka.duḫ.a «Шимут, (во-первых,) Марс, во-вторых, Балу, в третьих, Демон с Разинутой Пастью» [ACh Suppl., 7:9; Reynolds 1998, 353]; ba-lum и dba-lu, вероятно, одно название. В другом контексте (в заклинании) dba-а-lum / bal-li обозначает, по-видимому, созвездие, находящееся вблизи Плеяд (возможно, Орион): ina bi-rit dZa-ap-pi u dBa-a-lum (вар. bi-rit zap-pi u bal-li [CT 51, 202 col. iv 5]) «Между Плеядами и Балу» (речь идет о положении Венеры), цит. по [CAD B, 74], см. также [Horowitz 1993, 152, note 6; Horowitz 2014, 245; Stol 1989, 262], ср. [Krebernik 1995, 366b]. |
