Nusku

But however we may choose to account for it, the prominence of Nusku is obscured by Nabu.

The god Sin remained over the (sacred) standard, two crowns upon his head, (and) the god Nusku stood beside him.

Associated with them is Nusku, the messenger of the gods, who was given prominence in Assyria.

Nusku was the messenger of the gods and without him the King of Heaven could not pass judgment upon anything.

A later—chiefly theoretical—amalgamation of Nabu with a god Nusku will be discussed in a subsequent chapter.
