Are we getting anywhere? Yes, we have come to realize the importance of the time of the Bull and the distance 61 (= 366 / 6) precessional days from there up to the time of the C text.

In DECEMBER 31 the Sun was at Dubhe (α Ursae Majoris) while Scheat (β Pegasi) was at the Full Moon. 61 precessional days later these stars would have moved to March 2 (61). A pair of plants - growing from what could be the primeval mound - are leaning forward in Cb6-21, i.e. from Scheat Pegasi a new year was running ahead. The bent henua mound belonged in the daylight, in contrast to the night apex in Cb6-19.

... Brown associates it [Hamal] with Aloros, the first of the ten mythical kings of Akkad anterior to the Deluge, the duration of whose reigns proportionately coincided with the distances apart of the ten chief ecliptic stars beginning with Hamal, and he deduces from this kingly title the Assyrian Ailuv, and hence the Hebrew Ayil; the other stars corresponding to the other mythical kings being Alcyone, Aldebaran, Pollux, Regulus, Spica, Antares, Algenib, Deneb Algedi, and Scheat ...

The last of the 10 mythical kings of Akkad could have corresponded to Scheat Aquarii (δ). Once upon a time this would have been 8 days after the solstice in DECEMBER 21 (355), but at the probable time frame used by the creator of the C text it seems to have been 8 + 61 = 69 days after the solstice. And the new growth would then come alive 71 days after the solstice, at Scheat Pegasi (β).

According to the Roman system the month of Mars (Martius, March) did not begin until Martius 2:

... February 24 was 'the sixth day before the Kalends of March' using Roman inclusive counting (March 1 was the 'first day') ...

Days before the Kalends of March
February 24 25 26 27 28 March 1
6th 5th 4th 3rd 2nd 1st

The Babylonian zodiac had the symbol for the planet Mars not in early March but at the tail of the Goatfish (approximately our Capricorn):

In Babylonian times there was a measure of time between the tail of the Goatfish (Deneb Algiedi) and the Great One (approximately our Aquarius), but since that ancient time the Sun had come earlier and earlier in the year and forced a compression of the star calendar.

Probably this explains why the calendar of the year on side a of the G tablet was drawn compressed. From Ga2-27 (π) up to and including Ga7-10 (71 = 26000 / 366) there were 181 - 57 = 124 glyphs and 124 + 61 = 185 days. And 229 (glyphs on side a) + 61 = 290 (10 * 29).

The time for the origin of new growth came earlier and earlier because the precession forced the Sun earlier and earlier in the year.
