Both 99 and 250 are numbers we have learnt to associate with Venus.

392 102 240 4
Cb5-9 Cb14-15
5 * 99 = 250 + 245 5 * 49 = 245

99 is the number of lunar months needed to reach 2920 days = 5 * 584 = 8 * 365 days (and 99 * 29.5 = 2920.5).

250, we have discovered, equals 314 - 64, and counting from Ga1-1 there could be a glyph which represents Venus:

Gb1-18 Gb1-19 Gb1-20 (250) Gb1-21 Gb1-22 Gb1-23 Gb1-24 Gb1-25

In H (counting 3 glyphs per day from Ha1-4) day 250 equals glyph 750 at Hb3-6, and obviously a 'break in time' is announced at that point in the text:

189 747
Hb9-48 Hb9-49 Hb9-50 Hb3-4 Hb3-5 Hb3-6 (753)
 day 1 63 249 day 250 + 64 = 314

Friday (Venus) is the first day of the cycle. Day 314 could be its last day. There are 1296 glyphs in H and 1296 - 3 * 314 = 354 (= 12 * 29.5).
