By using numerical cues it is possible to relate koti (Ab4-36) with the first of the hanau glyphs with 'cap' at right:
The number of glyphs on side a is 670 and on side b 664, together 1334. The distance between Ab4-36 and Aa4-36 is also 670 (= 384 + 286) glyphs, and the distance from Aa4-36 up to and including Ab4-36 is 384 + 280 = 664 glyphs. If a 'cut' (koti) in the text is done to the right of Ab4-36 a reasonable interpretation is that 140 days now are in the past. To the right side of 670 glyphs in the center we find 384 glyphs (and also beyond Ab4-36 to the end of side b). By dividing the number of glyphs by 2, to convert into days, we will have the ubiquitous 192 days. |
