(1) Список звезд Энлиля (№ 31): MULmeš um-mu-lu-tu4 ša2 ina GABA mullu-lim / GUBmeš-zu dḪar-ri-ru dTIR.AN.NA «Тусклые звезды, которые стоят на груди Оленя, Харриру, Радуга» (I i 32–33). (2) Астрологические предсказания: dTIR.AN.NA UD ḪE2.NUN MU.NE / DIŠ ina imU18.LU A.AN ina imSI.SA2 A.KAL ina imKUR.RA A.AN ina imMAR GIR3.BAL «Имя Радуги — “день изобилия”. Если (она видна) на юге — дождь, на севере — наводнение, на востоке — дождь, на западе — опустошение» (II iii 33–34) [MA, 27, 112–113, 135]; не исключено, что в этом предсказании речь идет не о созвездии mulTIR.AN.NA, а о радуге как природном явлении, хотя контекст такое предположение как будто не допускает. Šumma Sîn ina tāmartīšu. diš 30 tur3 ban.an.na nigin… «Если Луна окружена гало (в виде) Небесного Лука….» [Koch Westenholz 1999, 163:138]; здесь ban.an.na, вероятно, образное выражение для обозначения радуги; см. в этой связи также: […gi]š.ban ban.an.na … ban an-e «[…] Лук, Небесный Лук … Небесный Лук» [NSAM 2, 80, IIIb 11′ + comm. p. 64]. «Большой список звезд». (1) multir.an.na = mulmin(=ab.sin2) «Радуга  = Борозда»; (2) tir.an.na ud nu-uḫ-šu2 mu.bi2 mar-ra-tum «Радуга, ее имя “день изобилия”, радуга» [Mesop.Astrol., App. B: 43, 167]. Dalbanna-текст. H. multir.[an.na] «Ра[дуга]» (β Cas), см. u06UD.KA.DU8.A. §e. [multir.an.na]? «[Радуга]» (β Cas), см. a39ANŠE.KUR.RA.

II. Божество.

Название созвездия фиксировалось с детерминативом божества уже в ранних одноязычных списках звезд. Храм dtir.an.na упоминается в гимне из Киша [Sjöberg, Bergmann 1969, 167, line 34]. (проверить и дополнить)

III. Отождествление.

= 18, 31 и 32 Андромеды (Andromeda) (?) [MA, 138; ASM, 274].

= β Cassiopeiae [Koch 1995, 57, H; ASM, 105, H].

IV. Астрология.

(1) Общее астрологическое значение; mul dTIR.AN.NA a-na [ŠE]G3 NU SUR / DIŠ ina UD er-pi ša2 ŠEG3 SUR dTIR.AN.[NA G]IL ŠEG3 NU SUR «(Созвездие) Радуга для (предсказания) отсутствия дождя. Если в облачный день, когда идет дождь, раду[га из]гибается: [дож]дя не будет» [ACh Ištar, 25:8; BPO 2, III 4–4a + Parallels;], вторая часть предсказания имеет, по-видимому, чисто метеорологическое значение, см. также [ibid., I 8]; [m]ulTIR AN.NA ana [IM].ŠEG3 ŠEG3 […] / dTIR.AN.NA ina iti˹AB˺ […] «(Созвездие) Радуга для (предсказания) дождя […]. Радуга в месяце тебету […]» [BPO 2, II 1–1a + Parallels], cр. MUL.APIN I iii 7–8, где дата гелиакического восхода mulIM.ŠEŠ относится также к тебету (см. i09).

(2) Луна, гало и радуга; [diš 30 tur3] mar-ra-tum nigin lal še u še.giš.i3 mar-ra-tum dtir.an.na tur3 dtir.an.na nigin-[ma] «[Если Луна] (при своем появлении) окружена [гало] (похожим на) радугу: уменьшение (урожая) ячменя и сезама. Marratum означает “радуга”, т.е. она окружена гало из радуги» [Koch-Westenholz 1999, 161:122]; здесь также, по-видимому, речь идет о наблюдении радуги как природного явления.
