deity single tradition · 1

ʔAṯeratum (a-še-ra-tum) was an Amorite deity equated with DIĜIR.MAḪ (Bēlet-ilī) in a bilingual Akkadian-Amorite lexical list from the Old Babylonian period which presumably originated in southern Mesopotamia. According to Andrew R. George and Manfred Krebernik in this context the name designated Athirat, the goddess also known from Ugarit, rather than the Mesopotamian goddess Ašratum.
