The Chorti diviners ought to have known that the correct date for the First Point of Aries was *February 9 = *April 14, when they went to their sacred spring in order to fetch 5 stones of the proper shapes and colours.

The creator of the G text could, however, have used the faulty Gregorian calendar with April 17 (107) at heliacal Sheratan. He had at the beginning of side a put 3 glyphs before heliacal Aldebaran:
However, this could be explained otherwise - because there were 4 precessional days from the time of Gregory XIII to my assumed time for rongorongo.
The creator of the G text had apparently used Gregory's crooked calendar for placing heliacal Sirius at the fish-hook at the end of the first half of the year:

Although in rongorongo times Nunki 'happened to' rise with the Sun in *December 31, which could be an alternative explanation for the position of this fish-hook.
