What is Oliblish?

Oliblish is, quite simply, a star that is close to Kolob. It's revolution and measurement of time are equal to that of Kolob. The only place it is mentioned is in the Book of Abraham Facsimile No. 2 which was translated by Joseph Smith. No other mention of Oliblish anywhere has been found since.

This is where Oliblish is mentioned on Facsimile No. 2:

Here are the two translations in whole:

Fig. 2. Stands next to Kolob, called by the Egyptians Oliblish, which is the next grand governing creation near to the celestial or the place where God resides; holding the key of power also, pertaining to other planets; as revealed from God to Abraham, as he offered sacrifice upon an altar, which he had built unto the Lord.

Fig. 4. Answers to the Hebrew word Raukeeyang, signifying expanse, or the firmament of the heavens; also a numerical figure, in Egyptian signifying one thousand; answering to the measuring of the time of Oliblish, which is equal with Kolob in its revolution and in its measuring of time.
