A star and deity identified with one star of a two-star asterism called 'Twins', NIN.SAR and Erragal (see Kurtik n40). Together, they form an asterism in Lyra or its vicinity. Erragal is normally determined as a deity, but note the writings with the MUL (star) determinative in the Great Star List (GSL 232': D ii’ 12’ MUL.NIN.SAR MUL.èr-ra-GAL).
Dictionary

Var. readings:
- Irragal; = "Great Erra"; deity of plague and death, one of the names of Nergal.
In astronomical texts it is paired with dNin.SAR and identified with a star in the constellation Lyrae (ζ Lyrae) [G. 125; Litke 1998, 60; Tallqvist 1938, 329, 402].

II. Deity.
The list of gods AN:dAnum (I 332) identifies Erragal as the husband of dNin.SAR and is identified with Nergal [Litke 1998, 60 + note 332, 200:10-11 + note 10]. In contrast, in the VR 46 list, 1:18, dNin.SAR is (erroneously?) associated with Nergal and Erragal with the unknown deity dAḫ-bi-tum. In the Great Star List and Miscellenia, the names of the two gods are included in the list of celestial twins (see above).
III. Identification.
mulnin.sar and mulir3.ra.gal = η + θ Lirae (?) [Weidner 1957-59, 80b].
dNin-SAR u dErragal = ε and ζ Lyrae [MA, 138; ASM, 272, 274].

| вар. чтения: Irragal; = «Великий Эрра»; божество чумы и смерти, одно из имен Нергала. В астрономических текстах встречается в паре с dNin.SAR и отождествляется со звездой в созвездии Лира (ζ Lyrae) [G. 125; Litke 1998, 60; Tallqvist 1938, 329, 402].
I. Источники. MUL.APIN. Список звезд Энлиля (№ 26): 2 MULmeš ša2 EGIR-šu2 GUBmeš-zu dNin-SAR u dEr3-ra-gal «Две звезды, которые стоят позади него (т.е. позади dLAMMA = Вега): Нинсар и Эррагаль» (I i 27) [MA, 26]. «Большой список звезд». 7 пар небесных Близнецов: mulir3.ra.gal в паре c mulnin.mu2 [Mesop.Astrol., App. B:233]; параллель см. [KAR, 142 i 33]. Список звезд V R 46, 1:18. mulNin-SAR u dEr3-ra-gal = dU.GUR u dAḫ-bi-tum «Нинсар и Эррагаль = Нергал и Ахбитум» [HBA 51; Wee 2016, 162–3]. II. Божество. В списке богов AN:dAnum (I 332) Эррагаль определяется как муж dNin.SAR и отождествляется с Нергалом [Litke 1998, 60 + note 332, 200:10–11 + note 10]. В списке VR 46, 1:18, напротив, dNin.SAR (ошибочно?) связано с Нергалом, а Эррагаль с неизвестным божеством dAḫ-bi-tum. В «Большом списке звезд» имена двух богов включены в список небесных близнецов (см. выше). III. Отождествление. mulnin.sar и mulir3.ra.gal = η + θ Lirae (?) [Weidner 1957–59, 80b]. dNin-SAR u dErragal = ε и ζ Lyrae [MA, 138; ASM, 272, 274]. |
