Notably the star named
78 Pegasi
(*359.5) was located precisely *6.0 right ascension days before
the star at 0h, viz.
Sirrah (*365.5 = *0.5).
And should we
count with a year measuring 366 days, then it should
conveniently begin 6 days before a year with 360 days in order
for them to end at the same time.
We should here update our culmination table:

27) - *137, etc. |
The right ascension distance from heliacal day to culmination
night seems to reach a maximum at Fomalhaut. And this maximum
- as if by chance - equals *236 → 8 * 29½ (eight
synodic lunar months).
And it seems reasonable to assume that vero at September 16 - at
glyph number 362 (→ 2 * 181)
- was referring to day 360 + 1 as counted from 0h (March 21,
80). For here, in the night when it could be observed that the Tail of
the Swan (Deneb Cygni) culminated, there were 16 days to vero in
October 2 (275 = 259 + 16).
