Editing Sin (mythology) (section)

====Babylon and Borsippa====
In [[Babylon]], Sin is first attested in the [[Old Babylonian period]] during the reign of [[Sumu-abum]], who constructed a temple dedicated to him, though it is not certain to which of the sanctuaries documented in later sources it corresponded.{{sfn|Hätinen|2021|p=378}} One of them shared the name Ekišnugal with the temple from Ur, as attested in inscriptions of [[Hammurabi]], [[Samsu-iluna]] and [[Nebuchadnezzar II]].{{sfn|George|1993|p=114}} A second house of worship dedicated to him, Enitendu, "house of (pleasant) rest", existed in the east of the same city, as indicated by inscriptions of [[Ammi-Ditana]] and [[Ammi-Saduqa]].{{sfn|George|1993|p=132}} Sin was also worshiped in the temple of [[Epithets of Inanna#Geographical epithets|Bēlet-Bābili]], a local hypostasis of Ishtar, presumably due to his well documented role as the father of this goddess.{{sfn|Hätinen|2021|p=380}} In the [[Seleucid Empire|Seleucid]] period, [[Antiochos I]] on one occasion made offerings to Sin in Babylon.{{sfn|Krul|2018|p=38}} However, it is presumed that his religious policy with regards to veneration of local deities was unique and should not be regarded as the standard for Seleucid rulers, as it finds no direct parallel in sources pertaining to other members of this dynasty.{{sfn|Krul|2018|pp=39-40}}

Sin was also worshiped in the immediate proximity of Babylon in Damru, as evidenced by his epithet ''bēl Damru'', "lord of Damru".{{sfn|Hätinen|2021|p=381}} A temple dedicated to him bearing the ceremonial name Egissubiduga, "house whose shade is pleasant", existed in this settlement.{{sfn|George|1993|p=28}}

Evidence for the worship of Sin in nearby [[Borsippa]] is available from the Neo-Babylonian period and late sources, though he was likely present in this city earlier already.{{sfn|Hätinen|2021|p=383}} In the Ezida temple complex, which was dedicated to [[Nabu]] (earlier [[Marduk]], initially [[Tutu (Mesopotamian god)|Tutu]]),{{sfn|George|1993|p=159}} there existed a sanctuary dedicated to him known as Edimanna, "house, bond of heaven", as attested in an inscription of Nebuchadnezzar II commemorating its rebuilding and in a Neo-Babylonian administrative text.{{sfn|George|1993|p=75}} It is possible his presence in the local pantheon reflected a connection between him and [[Nanaya]].{{sfn|Hätinen|2021|p=384}}
