In the new edition of MUL.APIN this line looks different: DIŠ mul5KAL.NE IB2.TAG4 RU ana 4 MUL5.ME šá mul5AŠ.IKU TE U URU GAM.ME "If the star KAL.NE ...

Historical Dictionaries

[G. 98]; название встречается в текстах предсказаний из EAE и в MUL.APIN.

I. Источники.

ЕАЕ.. DIŠ mulUG5.GA ana ulKAL.NE TE SU.GU7 GAL-ši «Если Ворон приближается к звезде KAL.NE: будет голод» [ACh Ištar, 24:9; ACh Suppl. 2, 81:3; MA, 134]; неясно, о каких светилах в данном случае идет речь. MUL.APIN. mul4KAL.NE IB2.TAG4 RU ana 4 MUL4.ME ša2 MUL4.MUL4 TE U URU ḪIme «Если звезда KAL.NE … (и) приближается к 4 звездам Плеяд: правитель(?) города будет благополучен(?)» (II iii 32) [MA, 112]. Это единственный известный нам текст, где речь идет как будто о 4 звездах Плеяд, в которых выделяли обычно 7 звезд, см. m35MUL.MUL. В новом издании MUL.APIN эта строка выглядит по-другому: DIŠ mul5KAL.NE IB2.TAG4 RU ana 4 MUL5.ME šá mul5AŠ.IKU TE U URU GAM.ME «Если звезда KAL.NE … (и) приближается к 4 звездам Поля (вар.: Звезд): правитель города умрет» [Hunger–Steele 2018, 158–9]. Детерминатив mul5 здесь соответствует mul4.
