//Description//: The Assur-version of the so-called "Astrolabe B" dating to the end of the 2nd millennium is our best-preserved source for this kind of composition. Besides an earlier Middle Babylonian partial copy ([[http://cdli.ucla.edu/P347239|VS 24, 120]]) we have considerably later manuscripts from Assyria, which are, in part, just poorly preserved. The tablet is divided into four sections, among which the first section with a month-by-month menology is the most interesting. (Klaus Wagensonner, University of Oxford)
