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, 131-132, 231; Tallqvist 1938, 245; Roberts 1972, 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 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.

IV. Identification.

         = η Ursae Majoris (?) [G. 232; Weidner 1957-59, 81a].

         = northeastern part of the Herdsman (Bootes) (?) [MA, 137; ASM, 272].

Historical Dictionaries

Kurtik (2022, u03) Gössmann (1950)
= mullaḫru, mulimmertu «Овца» [G. 232; BPO 2]; звезда или группа звезд в северо-восточной части Волопаса (Bootes) (?).

I. Источники.

MUL.APIN. Список звезд Энлиля (№ 17): MUL ša2 ina SAG.KI mulMAR.GID2.DA GUB-zu mulU8 dA-a «Звезда, которая стоит на передке Повозки, Овца Айи» (I i 18) [MA, 23]. MLC 1866. MUL ša2 ina SAG.KI mulMAR.GID2.DA [GUB-zu] / mulim-mer-tu4 […] «Звезда, которая на передке Повозки [стоит] / Овца […]» (col. iii 20–21) [Beaulieu et al. 2018, 37, 41], см. также m08MAR.GID2.DA. 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 (?) [G. 232; Weidner 1957–59, 81a].

= северо-восточная часть Волопаса (Bootes) (?) [MA, 137; ASM, 272].
