Anu in this passage really denotes Sin, the moon, which has been connected with silver on account of its color. The identification of Anu, the heaven god, with the moon god rests upon the astronomical connection between the moon and the summer solstice, see WEIDNER, _Handbuch der Babylonischen Astronomie_, 32. Sin is called “Anu of heaven,” KING, _Magic_, No. I, 9, and for the connection with silver, see VIROLLEAUD, _Astrologie_, Supplement, V II, _kaspu __ilu__ A-nu huraṣu __ilu__ Enlil erû __ilu__ Ea_. Enlil is connected with gold in VIROLLEAUD, _Astrologie_, Second Supplement, XVII 14, and Enlil is not infrequently identified with Shamash, see p. 158, 1-2 and p. 308, 18, and gold is the traditional metal of the sun. The Greek identification of Zeus, the sky-god, with silver is certainly borrowed from Babylonia; see p. 334.
