APRIL 4 (94, *14)

29 March (88, *8)

OCT 4 (94 + 183 = 277, *197)

Although far from easy to discern in the picture below I perceive 6 ball court players inside:

59 520
Aa8-26 Ab1-1 Ab7-26
580 = 20 * 29

12 * 29 = 348 (as in the number of glyphs on side b of the C tablet). 12 * 29½ = 354 and 12 * 30 = 360.

8 * 29 = 232 = 236 - 4 = 240 - 8.

In NOVEMBER 6 (Gb1-1) was the Tail of the Eagle (Deneb Okab, *290.0) and in this day was also the star α in the Fox (Vulpecula):

This constellation was a new creation by Hevelius (and wife).

Earlier it had been a part of the upside down flying Cygnus.

Obviously they had counted the distance from the Fox star up in Ursa Major:

... Proclus informs us that the fox star nibbles continuously at the thong of the yoke which holds together heaven and earth; German folklore adds that when the fox succeeds, the world will come to its end. This fox star is no other than Alcor, the small star g near zeta Ursae Majoris (in India Arundati, the common wife of the Seven Rishis, alpha-eta Ursae ...

Because the distance from day 282 (October 9, *202) to *290 (α Vulpeculae) was *88 → 80 + *8 (Schedir).

VÚLPECULA (*290)

*88

SPICA (*202)

*11

PORRIMA (*191)

*113

CAPELLA (*78.4)

*213 = *88 + *125

... Odysseus and his fleet were now in a mythic realm of difficult trials and passages, of which the first was to be the Land of the Cyclopes, 'neither nigh at hand, nor yet afar off', where the one-eyed giant Polyphemus, son of the god Poseidon (who, as we know, was the lord of tides and of the Two Queens, and the lord, furthermore, of Medusa), dwelt with his flocks in a cave. 'Yes, for he was a monstrous thing and fashioned marvelously, nor was he like to any man that lives by bread, but like a wooded peak of the towering hills, which stands out apart and alone from others.' Odysseus, choosing twelve men, the best of the company, left his ships at shore and sallied to the vast cave. It was found stocked abundantly with cheeses, flocks of lambs and kids penned apart, milk pails, bowls of whey; and when the company had entered and was sitting to wait, expecting hospitality, the owner came in, shepherding his flocks. He bore a grievous weight of dry wood, which he cast down with a din inside the cave, so that in fear all fled to hide. Lifting a huge doorstone, such as two and twenty good four-wheeled wains could not have raised from the ground, he set this against the mouth of the cave, sat down, milked his ewes and goats, and beneath each placed her young, after which he kindled a fire and spied his guests ...
