Origem do nome

Allen (1899) claims that this term was used for η Lib while “properly belonging to γ Scorpii”. He gives the name “Zubān alʿAkrab, the Scropion’s Claw,” with the spelling variants Zuban al Kravi, Zuben Acrabi, Zuben Hakrabi where the last one goes back to Bayer’s Uranometria (1603). Yet, Bayer’s γ Scorpii is now σ Lib (Brachium) and Bayer’s γ Lib was named “in media lance Boreali prima et superior”.
