Similarly M279 and M284 show that different sources could indicate that different con-
stellations became visible at certain times. Tablets T and R stipulate that the constellation
known as “the faint stars” rise in the middle of the month of Du’uzu while “the bright
star” becomes visible in the month of Abu. According to tablets A, O and AA “the bright
star” is instead visible from the month of Du’uzu and “the faint stars” are visible in Abu.
As was established immediately above, the difference in the taxonomy is treated as a dif-
ference in content.
