76 This discussion has now lead us to what celestial places among the fixed stars we should associate with the planets Saturn respectively Jupiter. Although we have already found the symbol of Jupiter at the head of Leo and the symbol of Saturn about a quarter later:
We should look for further answers first of all in the C text. There were 6 glyphs at the beginning of side b and therefore there should be a fortnight from Ca14-15 to the end of side a. And 14 * 15 = 210 (→ 378 - 168) = 7 * 30 = 6 * 35(0) = 42(0) / 2): ... The four bereaved and searching divinities, the two mothers and their two sons, were joined by a fifth, the moon-god Thoth (who appears sometimes in the form of an ibis-headed scribe, at other times in the form of a baboon), and together they found all of Osiris save his genital member, which had been swallowed by a fish. They tightly swathed the broken body in linen bandages, and when they performed over it the rites that thereafter were to be continued in Egypt in the ceremonial burial of kings, Isis fanned the corpse with her wings and Osiris revived, to become the ruler of the dead. He now sits majestically in the underworld, in the Hall of the Two Truths, assisted by forty-two assessors, one from each of the principal districts of Egypt; and there he judges the souls of the dead. These confess before him, and when their hearts have been weighed in a balance against a feather, receive, according to their lives, the reward of virtue and the punishment of sin ...
In the Babylonian overview above the symbol for Saturn is to be found on the horizontal line originating from ... Then the eyes of Atea glanced down at those of his wife Hotu and they begat Ru. It was this Ru who explored the whole earth and divided it into north, south, east, and west ... the left hand of the Mad Dog (the constellation of the Wolf, Lupus), also named Kusu.
Possibly the Centaur could earlier have been not a Man-horse (Ke Kwan - Cavalry Officer) but a Bull-man, a Mino-taur.
Or why not a Were-wolf, a man with a tail, identifying his true nature. By the way, the name of its leading star Toliman means 'Shoot from the Vine'. And at the other end of this horizontal line is the tail of the Hired Man - evidently corresponding to the tail of Aries. This Hired Man was also named Dumuzi. ... 'In Upper Egypt', wrote Sir James G. Frazer in The Golden Bough, citing the observations of a German nineteenth-century voyager, 'on the first day of the solar year by Coptic reckoning, that is, on the tenth of September, when the Nile has generally reached its highest point, the regular government is suspended for three days and every town chooses its own ruler. This temporary lord wears a sort of tall fool's cap and a long flaxen beard, and is enveloped in a strange mantle. With a wand of office in his hand and attended by men disguised as scribes, executioners, and so forth, he proceeds to the Governor's house. The latter allows himself to be deposed; and the mock king, mounting the throne, holds a tribunal, to the decisions of which even the governor and his officials must bow. After three days the mock king is committed to the flames, and from its ashes the Fellah creeps forth ... Further down is the Star Cluster of the Pleiades, The Seven Gods, the great gods.
We can compare with *336 (→ 12 * 28) = *12.4 - *41.4 (Bharani). If every month should be counted as 28 days, then the 12th month would end at Ca14-15. I.e., given that the first month - according to the era of Bharani - was beginning when the Sun rose at the pair γ Cassopeiae / λ Tucanae. We can perceive that γ is the letter λ turned upside down, which could motivate the vero type of glyph.
The season of the Toucan should end at this place. The tail of the Toucan was evidently where the Phoenix bird emerged:
