390 - 377 = 13 and therefore 377 = 13 * 29:
October 15 (2 * 144) was evidently a
date of importance, to be compared with
ºOctober 15 (288):
... The Julian
calendar day Thursday, 4 October 1582 was followed by the
first day of the Gregorian calendar, Friday, 15 October 1582
(the cycle of weekdays was not affected)
...
13 * 28 = 364 and 13 * 27 = 351. From te
heke (the rafter) in Ca2-1 (27) to te vero in
*Ca14-15 (378) there were 351 glyphs:
