222.15 So we can see that a strict order cannot be
avoided. Also the creators of the rongorongo texts were aware of
this, which should give us hope to be able to read also the text on the D
tablet.
And given there was a consensus as to how this cosmic time-space
order was constructed we should compare March 10 (Ca13-11) at *354 with my
guess February 26 (422, *342) at Da8-3:

Da8-2 (122 = 2 * 61) |

Da8-5 (5 * 5 * 5 = 125) |

... Mycerinus, when
this answer reached him, perceiving that his doom was fixed, had
lamps prepared, which he lighted every day at eventime, and
feasted and enjoyed himself unceasingly both day and night,
moving about in the marsh-country and the woods, and visiting
all the places he heard were agreeable sojourns. His wish was to
prove the oracle false, by turning night into days and so living
twelve years in the space of six ...
This (*348) was the place immediately after the earlier Mouth of the Fish, viz.

will therefore now continue to in a more systematic way document
the D text based on my preview, where March 1 at Db1 should be
understood as the day when the text in line Db1 will begin -
given it is a description of a leap year:

... The leap day was introduced as part of the Julian reform.
The day following the Terminalia (February 23) was doubled,
forming the 'bis sextum - literally 'double sixth', since
February 24 was 'the sixth day before the Kalends of March'
using Roman inclusive counting (March 1 was the 'first day').
Although exceptions exist, the first day of the bis sextum
(February 24) was usually regarded as the intercalated or
'bissextile' day since the third century. February 29 came to be
regarded as the leap day when the Roman system of numbering days
was replaced by sequential numbering in the late Middle Ages ... |
