mulKASKAL.UTU (𒀯𒆜𒌓) = harran šamaš, "(the star of) The Path of the Sun".
The Path of the Sun crosses into the three stellar paths of Anu, Enlil, and Ea in an obscure passage in Enuma Anu Enlil, and is more narrowly defined in MUL.APIN II i 1-6 as where the Sun goes along the Path of the Moon - which the other five ancient planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) likewise move along. Thus, The Path of the Sun, in modern astronomical terms, is the ecliptic (Horowitz 2011: 255-258, and see the commentary from Enuma Anu Enlil quoted below). In the Gilgamesh Epic, Gilgamesh travels along a Path of the Sun leading from Mount Mašu (the Twin) through a region of darkness to a grove of jewel-bearing trees (George 2003: 670-675, Horowitz 2011: 98-102). For a syllabic rendering of the Akkadian with the name of the Sun in status absolutus see SAA 8 49 rev. 4: har-ra-na dša2-maš.
