an ancient Mesopotamian asterism.

AN.TA.SUR.RA and AN.TA.ŠUR.RA cannot be completely differentiated as the [[   ]] sign has both readings. One exception is NV 10 where ŠUR and a variant writing (ŠI2-UR) are both used. Additionally, the fragment LBAT 1502 is included sub AN.TA.ŠUR.RA as it also pairs this term with AN.TA.GUB.BA. We take the category AN.TA.ŠUR.RA in NV 10 and LBAT 1502 to be a different category of asterisms than the other references for AN.TA.SUR.RA.

  • Variant: MUL AN.TA.ŠU2.UR.RA "Star flashing overhead"; a special category of stars which were visible in the east immediately after sunset, marking the beginning of the night [ASM 55-56; Donbaz-Koch 1995].

II. Identification.

In the texts of Nv. 10 and LBAT 1502, according to Koch's interpretation, the term mulAN.TA.ŠU2.UR/ŠUR.RA = ‘(der) oben aufleuchtende(r) Stern’ refers to stars that rose before sunset, became visible at the end of civil twilight, and set before sunrise in the corresponding month [Koch 1995, 72, 76]; see also [ASM, 55-57].

В текстах Nv. 10 и LBAT 1502, согласно интерпретации Коха, термин mulAN.TA.ŠU2.UR/ŠUR.RA = «(der) oben aufleuchtende(r) Stern» относится к звездам, которые восходили перед заходом Солнца, становились видны в конце гражданских сумерек и заходили перед восходом Солнца в соответствующий месяц [Koch 1995, 72, 76]; см. также [ASM, 55–57].||Example
