			'''Commentary:''' The Pig is commonly identified with Delphinus but (a) then these stars would belong to two constellations: Pig and Dead Man with contrary associations in religion, which does not make any sense, and (b) it is more likely from the relativ position of the Pig and UD.KA.DU<sub>8</sub>.A given in MUL.APIN that the Pig is located north or northwest of Delphinus, in Sge/ Vul.
