The names of constellations are never fixated with determinatives d. The divine status of mulA2mušen, however, is attested in BM 82923 (see above). The connection of mulA2mušen with dZa-ba4-ba4 follows the text Astrolabe B (Section A iii 25) as well as from the list of gods K.4339 rev. col. iv 10 where the identity is a given: mulA2mušen = dZa-ba4-ba4 = min(=dNin-urta) [CT 25, 13]. Among the epithets of Zababa, however, the Eagle is not mentioned [Tallqvist 463]. In the lists "deity – bird", the Eagle is also not mentioned [Salonen 1973 294-295]. The connection of the Eagle constellation with Zababa is explained, apparently, by the symbol of Zababa – a rod with the head of an eagle, see z01dZA.BA4.BA4.

* The symbol of Zababa on the kudurru was a rod ending with the image of an eagle's head with a crest of feathers [Seidl 1968 163-164; Seidl 1969, § c)]. A bird similar to an eagle next to the anthropomorphic figure of Zababa was depicted on the seals of the Old Babylonian period [Braun-Holzinger 348, Nr. 1165]. Probably, this image served as a basis for the figure of the constellation Eagle.

II. Deity.

The names of constellations are never fixated with determinatives d. The divine status of mulA2mušen, however, is attested in BM 82923 (see above). The connection of mulA2mušen with dZa-ba4-ba4 follows the text Astrolabe B (Section A iii 25) as well as from the list of gods K.4339 rev. col. iv 10 where the identity is a given: mulA2mušen = dZa-ba4-ba4 = min(=dNin-urta) [CT 25, 13]. Among the epithets of Zababa, however, the Eagle is not mentioned [Tallqvist 463]. In the lists "deity – bird", the Eagle is also not mentioned [Salonen 1973 294-295]. The connection of the Eagle constellation with Zababa is explained, apparently, by the symbol of Zababa – a rod with the head of an eagle, see z01dZA.BA4.BA4.

III. Symbol.

  • The symbol of Zababa on the kudurru was a rod ending with the image of an eagle's head with a crest of feathers [Seidl 1968 163-164; Seidl 1969, § c)]. A bird similar to an eagle next to the anthropomorphic figure of Zababa was depicted on the seals of the Old Babylonian period [Braun-Holzinger 348, Nr. 1165]. Probably, this image served as a basis for the figure of the constellation Eagle.
