Ḫabūrītum
Goddess of the river Khabur / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ḫabūrītum (dḫa-bu-ri-tum[1]) was a goddess of the river Khabur worshiped in ancient Syria. She was incorporated into the Mesopotamian pantheon in the Ur III period. Her original cult center was most likely Sikani, which in the early third millennium was located in an area ruled by Hurrians. Not much is known about her character. In Mesopotamian texts she appears chiefly in association with other deities worshiped in Syria, such as Dagan and Išḫara.
