II. Astrology.

            Elam was regarded as Mesopotamia's chief enemy in the east for a long time. It is not surprising, therefore, that the Star of Elam was identified with Mars and regarded as a source of unfavorable predictions.

            (1) General astrological meaning; mulNIM.MA ana EN.TE.NA "Star of Elam for (predicting) cold" [BPO 2[5], I 13, III 11].

            (2) The Star of Elam, Mars, and the Anzu Bird; mulNIM.MA mulṢal-bat-a-nu mul dIM.D[UGUDmušen] "The Star of Elam is Mars, [the Bird of] A[nzu]" [BPO 2[5], III 11a], see also (Kurtik i07) dIM.DUGUDmušen.

            (3) Star of Elam = Mars in Scorpius; mulNIM.MA dNIN.A.ZU EN KI-tim MU dLi9-si4 mulGIR2.TAB qa-bi dṢal-bat-a-nu ina ŠA3 DU-ma "The star of Elam is Ninazu, the lord of the underworld; so they say, (referring to) the Fox, Scorpius, (when) Mars stands in it" [BPO 2[5], III 11c, V 1]; see also [Lambert 1987a[9], 94].

            (4) Venus = the star of Elam; mulDil-bat MUL KUR.NIM.KI [ARAK[7], 302 r. 2].

Historical Dictionaries

Kurtik (2022, n23) Gössmann (1950)
вар. чтения: mulelam.ma(ki); = mulElamtu «Звезда Элама»; 1) эпитет Марса, 2)  эпитет Венеры [G. 312; Brown 2000, 60; Reynolds 1998, 352].

I. Источники.

Лексич. тексты. В серии Ḫg. B VI: mulnim.ma = (пробел) = MIN (=dṢal-[bat-a-nu]) «Звезда Элама = Марс» [MSL XI, 40:37], параллель: mul dnim.ma = MIN […] [SpTU III, 116 r. iii 6]. EAE. Cм. [BPO 2, I 13, III 11–11a, 11c]. «Рапорты». См. [ARAK, 302 r. 2]. «Большой список звезд».  (1) Список имен Марса: mulnim.ma = dmin(=dṣal-bat-a-nu); (2) 7 имен Марса (7 zik-ru-šu2): ulnim.maki [Mesop.Astrol., App. B:94, 238].

II. Астрология.

Элам считался главным врагом Месопотамии на востоке на протяжении долгого времени. Неудивительно поэтому, что «Звезда Элама» отождествлялась с Марсом и рассматривалась как источник неблагоприятных предсказаний.

(1) Общее астрологическое значение; mulNIM.MA ana EN.TE.NA «Звезда Элама для (предсказания) холода» [BPO 2, I 13, III 11].

(2) Звезда Элама, Марс и Птица Анзу; mulNIM.MA mulṢal-bat-a-nu mul dIM.D[UGUDmušen] «Звезда Элама есть Марс, [Птица] А[нзу]» [BPO 2, III 11a], см. также i07dIM.DUGUDmušen.

(3) Звезда Элама = Марс в Скорпионе; mulNIM.MA dNIN.A.ZU EN KI-tim MU dLi9-si4 mulGIR2.TAB qa-bi dṢal-bat-a-nu ina ŠA3 DU-ma «Звезда Элама есть Ниназу, господин преисподней; так говорят, (имея в виду) Лиси, Скорпиона, (когда) Марс стоит в нем» [BPO 2, III 11c, V 1]; см. также [Lambert 1987, 94].

(4) Венера = звезда Элама; mulDil-bat MUL KUR.NIM.KI  [ARAK, 302 r. 2].
