2. The 5th hour evidently ends with tagata gagana in Ga1-11, and its day number is 5 / 24 * 365.25 + 408 = 484 (or 100½ more than 13 * 29½):

The head of tagata gagana could refer to Venus (cfr at Botein). From the Head of the Fly (35 Arietis at Gb8-7) to Ga1-11 there are 35 days (and 35 happens to be the measure for a fully grown man):

Gb8-10 (452) Ga1-7 Ga1-8 Ga1-9 Ga1-10 Ga1-11 (484)

The head of tagata gagana in Ga1-11is tilted upwards, a sign which could indicate there is a reversal somewhere beyond the oppositely tilted 'head' (= wings of the Fly) in Gb8-7.

If we count 17 days beyond Gb8-7 the midpoint should be found. 449 + 17 = 466 is in the Pleiades and the central point will be the day of Saturn at Menkhib:
