	<sup>mul / d</sup>GAŠAN.TIN (𒀯𒃽𒁷) = <sup>mul</sup>''bēlet balāṭi'', 'The Lady of Life,' a name for stars in [[Lyra]] ~~east~~ of [[Vega]], the fifth brightest star in the sky (also over Ancient Mesopotamia). ~~The~~ name 'Lady of Life' is a name ~~for a constellation in Lyra~~.		<sup>mul / d</sup>GAŠAN.TIN (𒀯𒃽𒁷) = <sup>mul</sup>''bēlet balāṭi'', 'The Lady of Life,' a name for stars in [[Lyra]], perhaps including Vega itself. The name occurs in the ''ziqpu''-star tradition, which notes that 'The Lady of Life,' here a three-star asterism, is separate from the single star of Lyra which is almost certainly [[Vega]], the fifth brightest star in the sky (also over Ancient Mesopotamia). The name 'Lady of Life' is not included in the earlier stellar repertoire of 'The Three Stars Each' and MUL.APIN suggesting that this name became popular no earlier than the middle of the Neo-Assyrian period.
