I. Источники.

MUL.APIN. (1) Список звезд Энлиля (№ 19, 20): a) mulMAR.GID2.DA.AN.NA dDam-ki-an-na «Повозка Ану, Дамкиана» (I i 20), параллель см.

II. Божество.

Принятое в MUL.APIN I i 20 отождествление Небесной Повозки с Дамкианой нигде более не засвидетельствовано и имеет, по-видимому, достаточно позднее происхождение. Отождествление частей созвездия с божествами нередко встречается в текстах заклинаний [Reiner 1995].

III. Символ.
