Source passages
“Similarly, the goddess dKAŠ.DIN.NAM, most likely to be read as Kurunnītu, who is assumed to be a late form of Ninkasi appears in association with Bēlet-balāṭi. The text Nin-Isina and the Gods appears to syncretise Nungal with the eponymous goddess. Similarly, Bēlet-balāṭi is attested as a form or member of the entourage of another medicine goddess, Gula.”
