ulRI.ŠI.BE (𒌌𒊑𒅆𒁁). These three signs follow the UL-determinative for stars on one of two diagrams on the astrological tablet from TCL 6[1] 13. The reading of the term is uncertain as each of the three signs have multiple possible readings. Rochberg-Halton's statement about the term, 'UL.RI.ŠI.BE is obscure' is certainly true. A photograph is available in Horowitz 2014 pl. XXIX.

Concordance, Etymology, History[2]

The name of the luminary occurs only in the circular diagram in [TCL 6[1], 13 i; Rochberg-Halton 1987b[3], 224-226, now reprinted in Rochberg 2010[4]: 129-131] in sectors I, II, IV. Perhaps it is one of the epithets of Venus; ulDil-bat stands in the corresponding position in sector II.

название светила встречается только в круглой диаграмме в [TCL 6, 13 i; Rochberg-Halton 1987b, 224–226] в секторах I, II, IV. Возможно, это один из эпитетов Венеры; в соответствующей позиции в секторе II стоит ulDil-bat. Example
