Once again. It is possible that the pair of star signs in Hb9-50
represented the place at the end of the 50 dark nights of Venus before she returned in the sky as Evening Star at the horizon in the west;
and that the single such star sign in Ba10-24 corresponded to the place at the end of the Evening Star period before the 8 dark nights preceding her return as Morning Star at the horizon in the East:
This should imply the beginning of side b on the B tablet ought to have coincided with the first day of Venus as Morning Star, i.e. with the first day after the Pleiades (Menkhib = Next to the Pleiades):
Although due to the effects of the precession since the Golden Age of the Bull the π date would have shifted to a place *64 right ascension nights earlier as observed against the fixed stars:
Which ought to imply that Manus Catenata (the Chained Hand) now should be at the Full Moon;
compared to how anciently it had been Deneb Okab (the Tail of the Eagle, *358 - *64 = *294) which had been at the Full Moon.
