mulKAK.PAN (𒀯𒆕𒉼) = šukūdu, šiltāḫu, 'The Arrow,' is a name for the Canis Major constellation as a whole, or perhaps more specifically for just the α Canis Majoris, the brightest star in the sky, in those instances where the star-name occurs in the context of Sirius phenomena. For the reading PAN rather than BAN see e.g. CAD P 147 for syllabic glosses pa-na and pa-an in lexical lists.

"Astronomical Diaries and Related Texts".

múlKAK.BAN (usually without a determinative) is the standard designation of Sirius; for the earliest example, see [múlKAK.BAN]. [AD I, No. -384 rev. 5]. The Diaries regularly recorded the dates of three phenomena associated with the motion of Sirius relative to the Sun: heliacal rising, heliacal setting, and acronical rising (the last rising star visible after sunset); the dates of these phenomena were originally observed and then calculated using a simple scheme related to the 19-year cycle [HAMA, 363-365].

         = Sirius (α Canis Majoris) in all cases where an exact identification is possible.

I. Источники.

Лексич. тексты. (1) Шумерский одноязычный список звезд из Эмара: mulkak.ban [Emar VI/4, 154:112]. (2) Серия Ḫg. B VI: [mul]kak.pan = MIN (= šu-ku-du = šil-ta-ḫu) [MSL XI, 41:47]. EAE. См. [CAD Š/2, 450]. «Дневники наблюдений». múlKAK.BAN (как правило, без детерминатива) — стандартное обозначение Сириуса; самый ранний пример см. [AD I, No. -384 rev. 5]. В Дневниках регулярно фиксировались даты трех явлений, связанных с движением Сириуса относительно Солнца: гелиакический восход, гелиакический заход и акронический восход (последний восход звезды, видимый после захода Солнца); даты этих явлений первоначально наблюдались, а затем вычислялись по простой схеме, связанной с 19-летним циклом [HAMA, 363–365]. «Большой список звезд». mulkak.ban = mulkak.si.sa2 [Mesop.Astrol., App. B:156]. MLC 1866. mulKAK.BAN dIM DUMU d60 u [an-tu4 GU2.GAL AN-e] / u3 KI-ti miḫ-rat mulALLA […] «Стрела, Адад, сын Ану и [Анту, Надзиратель каналов неба] / и земли, напротив Краба (стоит) …» (col. ii 21–22) [Beaulieu et al. 2018, 37, 41]. См. также múlkak.ban в [Livingstone 1986, 62:28–29]. W 22554/6. Гелиакический восход и заход Сириуса (múlGAG.BAN) относительно равноденствий и солнцестояний [SpTU V, 269 r. 9–10].

II. Отождествление.

= Сириус (α Canis Majoris) во всех случаях, где возможно точное отождествление.
