Historical Dictionaries

Kurtik (2022, n29) Gössmann (1950)
букв. «Владыка истинного (или: надежного) дерева» или «Владыка который делает дерево правильным» [Wiggermann 2000, 368]; божество созвездия mulMUŠ, прообраза греческой Гидры (Hydra) (см. m43).

I.  Источники.

«Молитвы ночным богам». (1) Хеттская молитва: mul dNin-ki-zi-da [KUB IV, 47 r. 43; BPO 2, 2:4; Van der Toorn 1985, 129:43]. (2) Новоассирийская молитва: [mul dNIN.GIŠ].ZI.DA [Oppenheim 1959, 282:10]. «Астролябии». Astrolabe B. Список (12´3): mul ša egir-šu(bi) gub-[zu] / dmuš <<u>> dNin-giš-z[i-da] «Созвездие, которое позади него (т.е. позади mulA-nu-ni-tu4) стоит: Змея, Нингишз[ида]» [KAV 218, B iii 6–7; Horowitz 2014, 39, 116]. MUL.APIN. Звезды Ану (№ 13): mul dMUŠ dNin-giš-zi-da EN er-ṣe-tu4 «Змея, Нингишзида, господин преисподней» (I ii 8) [MA, 32], параллель см. [ACh Suppl. 2, 67:16].

II. Божество.

Хтоническое божество шумерского происхождение, сын бога преисподней Ниназу, один из стражей небесных врат бога Ану. Согласно AN:dAnum (V 254, 258), у него было 2 жены и 3 сестры [Litke 1998, 192]. Его символом считалась рогатая змея bašmu, прообраз греческой Гидры (см. b08), а также, возможно, Нирах [Wiggermann 2001, 574]. Как обычно, неясны причины и конкретные обстоятельства, обусловившие связь Нингишзиды с этим созвездием. См. [МНМ 2, 221; Black–Green 1992, 140, 167; Tallqvist 1938, 406; Van Buren 1934; 1946, 15–16; Wiggermann 1993–1997, 458; 1997, 39–42; 2001, 574].
