Not to be confused with mul (giš)MAR.GID2.DA, eriqqu.
Wagon and Wagon of Heaven in the Babylonian uranography around 1250 BCE, produced with Stellarium, paintings by Jessica Gullberg.

mul (giš)MA.GID2.DA AN.NA (𒀯𒄑𒈥𒁍𒁕𒀭𒈾) = eriqqu ša šamê, eriqqu šá šamāmī (poetic form) is a Mesopotamian name for the asterism Ursa Minor (the Little Dipper). The association with goddesses reflects in part at least the feminine grammatical status of Akkadian eriqqu, pl. eriqqātu [1] The Sumerian name can be interpreted as either 'The Wagon of Heaven' or 'The Wagon of Anu.' The sign-AN being for both the Heavens as a cosmic location and the god An, the King of the Heavens.

= eriq šamê «Небесная Повозка» или «Повозка Ану»; созвездие в Малой Медведице (Ursa Minor) [G. 259].

I. Источники.

MUL.APIN. (1) Список звезд Энлиля (№ 19, 20): a) mulMAR.GID2.DA.AN.NA dDam-ki-an-na «Повозка Ану, Дамкиана» (I i 20), параллель см. [Horowitz 1989–90, 116, BM 54817:8']. b) «Звезда на ее веревке», см. i02IBILA.E2.MAḪ. Stev.O.T. mulMAR.GID2.DA<AN.NA> GAL «Повозка [Ану] Великая» ― в предсказании, см. i02IBILA.E2.MAḪ. Список «6 дворцовых женщин», см. a02A.EDIN. Заклинание. О получении благоприятного или неблагоприятного знака во время сна перед началом путешествия: EN2 mulMAR.GID2.DA.A[N.N]A [MA]R.GID2.D[A ša2-ma-m]i ša2 ni-ir-ša2 dNIN.URTA / ma-šad-da-ša2 dAMAR.U[TU bu]-ba-tu-ša2 DUMU.MI2.<MEŠ> dA-nim ša2 AN-e KU3.MEŠ / ana IGI Aš-šurki nap-˹ḫa˺-[a]t ana IGI K[A2.DINGIR.R]Aki IGI-ša2 šak-nu «Заклинание. Повозка A[на], [Небесна]я [По]возк[а], чье ярмо есть Нинурта, чье дышло ― Мар[дук], чьи оси (по другой версии: боковые стороны) ― дочери Ана (на) небесах чистых, которая восход[и]т по направлению к Ассирии, чье лицо обращено к В[авило]ну» [STT, 73 ii 61–63; Reiner 1960, 33; Reiner 1995, 71; Horowitz 1989, 243], параллель [UET 7, 118:8–9; Horowitz 1989, 243]. Гемерологии. 7-е ташриту, запрещение полового соития: ik-kib giš˹MAR˺.GID2.DA ša-me-e dA-nim «Запрещение Повозки Небесной, Ану» [KAR, 178 r. iv 62], см. также [CAD E, 297b; Horowitz 1989, 244; Labat 1939, 116–117; Reiner 1995, 114].

II. Божество.

Принятое в MUL.APIN I i 20 отождествление Небесной Повозки с Дамкианой нигде более не засвидетельствовано и имеет, по-видимому, достаточно позднее происхождение. Отождествление частей созвездия с божествами нередко встречается в текстах заклинаний [Reiner 1995].

III. Символ.

Повозка. Описание в VAT 9428 r. 8–9: mulMAR.GID2.DA.AN.NA ka-lak-ku a-na IGI ma-šad-di ša2 mulMAR.GID2.D[A] / u3 ma-šad-da-ša2 IGI ka-lak-ku ša2 mulMAR.˹GID2.DA i˺-ma-ša2-a[l] «Небесная Повозка – это фургон перед дышлом Повозки, и ее дышло перед фургона Повозки аналогичным образом» [Weidner 1927, 75, 77; Beaulieu et al. 2018, 23, 25, Section VIII].

IV. Отождествление.

= Ursa Minor [G. 259; Weidner 1957–59, 79a; BPO 2, 13; MA, 137; ASM, 276; Beaulieu et al. 2018, 74].

V. Части созвездия и отдельные звезды.

(1) MUL ša2 ina ṭur-ri-šu2 GUB-zu «звезда, которая на ее веревке (вар.: связи, узле) стоит» (= α Ursae Minoris (?)), см. i02IBILA.E2.MAḪ.
