Babylonian calendar
Hello! You have made a change on the article for Babylonian calendar, and I was wondering what your source is. You removed Shamash 𒀭𒌓 as presiding deity of the month of Ābu and you changed Anu 𒀭𒀭 for Shamash 𒀭𒌓 as presiding deity of the month of Tišritum. Please provide me with a rationale. Thanks in advance!

Hello to you as well! Shamash was listed as the monthly regent for "Libra" in the article previously, so I merely restored the article to it's previous state. One source would be "The Names of the Assyro-Babylonian Months and Their Regents" by W. Muss-Arnolt https://www.jstor.org/stable/3259081?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents Jove (talk) 06:59, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
