About this star: A red star in the tail of the Scorpion Scorpius. Sargas is a Euphratean title. Sargas lies in the Milky Way just south of lamda and nu, with which it formed one of the seven pairs of Twin Stars; as such it was Ma-a-su. And it may have been, with iota, kappa, lamda (Shaula), and nu (Jabbah), the Girtab of the Euphratean lunar zodiac, the Vanant of Persia and Vanand of Sogdiana, all meaning the "Seizer," "Smiter," or "Stinger "; but the Persian and Sogdian words generally are used for our Regulus. In Khorasmia these stars were Khachman, the Curved. (Allen). |
