One could think a 2nd hakaariki (making a king) glyph could arrive after Capella in Cb2-24. However, this was evidently not the case:

The figure in Cb3-10 (59) is formed similar to the 2nd of our earlier heke glyphs:

I think 'the long established' (te taketake) at Cb3-10 was placed at the vertical 'line of fire' at the end of the main part of Auriga:

Take

The Marquesans are the only people who own to a distinctive national name, and retain a tradition of the road they travelled from their original habitat, until they arrived at the Marquesan Islands. They call themselves te Take, 'the Take nation'. Fornander.

Take, Tuvaluan for the Black Noddy (Anous Minutes). The specific epithet taketake is Māori for long established, ancient, or original. In the Rapa Nui mythology, the deity Make-make was the chief god of the birdman cult, the other three gods associated with it being Hawa-tuu-take-take (the Chief of the eggs) his wife Vie Hoa and Vie Kanatea. Wikipedia.

However, precession had moved its ancient position ahead in the year with a pair of months, from APRIL 15 (105) to 166 (June15) - equal to the distance from December 30 (364) to March 1 (60). Therefore Mother Goat (Capella) and her twin offspring had to be pictured at the back side of the Charioteer. They were no longer at the place were the winter year was ending.

Instead the summer year was now defined by sheep (an animal which was domesticated later than the goat):

... Many think that our figure [Aries] was designed to represent the Egyptian King of Gods shown at Thebes with ram's horns, or veiled, and crowned with feathers, and variously known as Amon, Ammon, Hammon, Amen, or Amun, and worshiped with great ceremony at his temple in the oasis Ammonium ...

... However, Wilkinson explains there were two kinds of wether in ancient Egypt. One of them (above) was Ovis platyra, with curved horns and usually depicted as reclining:

Ovis platyra was Allen's Amon wether. It was the modern type of sheep. However, early there was another species, Ovis longipes, the first kind of sheep domesticated in Egypt. It had a more powerful body with a thick fur and wavy horizontally oriented horns:

Not surprisingly this kind of sheep was associated with the 'nighttime' voyage through the Underworld:

Wilkinson begins his description of the Egyptian Ram pictures by pointing out that these sheep were lead by a wether when they were used for pushing down seeds into the mud after the yearly inundation of the Nile ...

I have no idea of what the Chinese text below is saying, but I can guess its main ingredient:
