In this paper, I publish and analyse a compilation of observations of the synodic phenomena of Saturn from Babylon, which can be dated to the early sixth century b.c. By comparing these observations with records found in other early compilations of planetary observations it is possible to trace the development of observational practice in Babylonia. The compilation contains references to several stars that are previously unattested in cuneiform texts. An attempt is made to identify these stars.

巴比伦土星观测的早期汇编

在这篇论文中，我发表并分析了巴比伦土星会合现象的观测汇编，可以追溯到公元前 6 世纪初。通过将这些观测与其他早期行星观测汇编中的记录进行比较，可以追溯巴比伦观察实践的发展。该汇编包含对先前未在楔形文字文本中证实的几颗星的引用。试图识别这些恒星。
