Jupiter
[Line 37 which is a prelude to the listing of Jupiter] One big star - (although) its light is dim - divides the sky in half and stands there: (that is) the star of dMarduk, the Ford [Line 38 which then
lists Jupiter] Jupiter, (it) keeps changing its position and crosses the sky
34/35. The bright red star at the kidney of the stag,
the Destroyer (KA.MUSH.I.KU.E)
AK: This is Algol in Perseus = I.KU.E (earlier red-colored)
36/37. "When the stars of Enlil are finished, a large star of matted light
divides the heavens there: the star of d.AMAR.UD (d.Marduk),
of the pass-over. Lines 36/37 were added to later MUL.APIN copies,
and are not found on the original tablet .
- so Werner Papke -
AK: This is the red star Hamal = AMAR in Aries.
38. Jupiter (SAG.ME.GAR) changes its position continuously,
crossing the heavens

Immanuel Freedman, Ph.D. SMIEEE, Member, International Association for Assyriology,
has analyzed the extant cuneiform evidence in the peer-reviewed publication"
The Marduk Star Nebiru(CDLI Bulletin 2015:3).
He concludes that "cuneiform evidence supports the hypthesis that the name Nēbiru may be assigned to any visible astronomical object that marks an equinox. It is clear to me that Zechariah Sitchin was confused by earlier translations." (This comment about Sitchin is strange because this refutes Michael Heiser statement that "cuneiform tablets do not have Nibiru as a 12th planet beyond Pluto.")
