II. Deities.

         Two male deities, dLAL3 = dAlammuš and dNin-EZEN´GUD (= dNin-gublaga, the deity of cattle), were associated with Sin. In the AN:dAnum list of gods (III 30, 37) the following identities are given:

  • (1) dNin.EZEN´˹GUD˺ = dumu den.zu.na.ke4 "Ningublaga = son of Zuen",
  • (2) d(a.la.˹xx˺)LAL3 = sukkal den.zu.na.ke4 "Alamush = messenger of Zuen" [Litke 1998[10], 120-121]. Their names are given side by side in the lists of gods from the Old Babylonian periods [Weidner 1924-25[11], 10:13-14]; see also the list of dAnum [Cavigneaux 1981[12], 82:13-14]. The twin status of these gods is attested only in astronomical texts. For the spell associated with dmaš.tab.ba.tur.tur, see. [Ebeling 1953a[13], 391:1].

III. Symbol.

IV. Identification.

         = ζ, λ or ζ, δ Geminorum; inference: contains stars from the constellation Gemini south of the ecliptic (except γ + ξ Gem), and possibly some stars from the constellations of the Lesser Dog (except Procyon) and Unicorn [Gössmann[1] 269].

         = ι + ν Geminorum(?) [Waerden 1949[15], 15; 1974, 76].

         = ι + ν or ζ + λ Geminorum [Weidner 1957-59[16], 77a, 80b].

         = probably ζ, λ Geminorum [BPO 2[17], 13].

         = ζ and λ Geminorum and the stars to the north, south, and west of them [MA[4], 137].

         = δ + ζ Geminorum [Koch 1989[18], 63, 111].

         = Procyon and β of the Lesser Dog (+ neighboring stars γ, ε Canis Minoris) [Koch 1993[19], 194].

         = ζ, λ Geminorum [ASM[8], 276; Beaulieu et al. 2018[9], 74, note 10].

         = Gemini [Horowitz 2014[20], 247].

II. Божества.

Два мужских божества: dLAL3 = dAlammuš и dNin-EZEN´GUD (= dNin-gublaga, божество крупного рогатого скота), были связаны с Сином. В списке богов AN:dAnum (III 30, 37) приводятся тождества: (1) dNin.EZEN´˹GUD˺ = dumu den.zu.na.ke4 «Нингублага = сын Зуэна», (2) d(a.la.˹xx˺)LAL3 = sukkal den.zu.na.ke4 «Аламуш = посланник Зуэна» [Litke 1998, 120–121]. Их имена приведены рядом в списках богов старовавилонского времени [Weidner 1924–25, 10:13–14]; см. также список dAnum [Cavigneaux 1981, 82:13–14]. Близнечный статус этих богов засвидетельствован только в астрономических текстах. Заклинание, связанное с dmaš.tab.ba.tur.tur, см. [Ebeling 1953a, 391:1].

III. Символ.
