II. Deity.
Akkadian goddess Ay (Sum. dŠe3.ri.da, dŠe3.ri5.da), regarded as the "bride" (kallātum) or wife (ḫīrtum) of Shamash, the sun-god. She was honored along with Shamash at Sippar and Larsa. Her astral character as "goddess of light" or "sky goddess" is emphasized in the AN:dAnum series (III 126-134) and AN:Anu ša amēli (46) [Litke 1998[5], 131-132, 231; Tallqvist 1938[6], 245; Roberts 1972[7], 14b 68], see also (Kurtik n38) dNIN.MUL.SI4.A. Ay's sheep is mentioned as an independent deity in one of the lists of gods associated with the AN:dAnum series: d la-ḫarU8 = ŠU [CT[8] 25, 20:4], no explicit reference to Ay, however.
III. Symbol.
If the assumption that we are dealing with a constellation is correct, its figure was undoubtedly the image of a sheep.

Список «6 дворцовых женщин». mulU8 dA-a «Овца Айи», см. a02A.EDIN. II. Божество. Аккадская богиня Айа (шум. dŠe3.ri.da, dŠe3.ri5.da), считалась «невестой» (kallātum) или женой (ḫīrtum) Шамаша, бога Солнца. Почиталась вместе с Шамашем в Сиппаре и Ларсе. Ее астральный характер «богини света» или «небесной богини» подчеркивается в серии AN:dAnum (III 126–134) и AN:Anu ša amēli (46) [Litke 1998, 131–132, 231; Tallqvist 1938, 245; Roberts 1972, 14б 68], см. также n38dNIN.MUL.SI4.A. Овца Айи упоминается как самостоятельное божество в одном из списков богов, связанных с серией AN:dAnum: d la-ḫarU8 = ŠU [CT 25, 20:4], явная ссылка на Айю, впрочем, отсутствует. III. Символ. Если верно предположение о том, что мы имеем дело с созвездием, то его фигурой, несомненно, было изображение овцы. III. Отождествление. = η Ursae Majoris (?)
