Instead of the complex arrangement in Cb1-6 there is a pair in Gb4-13 --14:

But by looking 107 days ahead we will find the same place again and here with a glyph more in tune with Cb1-6:

FEBRUARY 17 (413) 18 (49 = 414 - 365)

... The 'classic' version, however, was much more detailed: the rope would seem to rise high into the skies, disappearing from view. The boy would climb the rope and be lost to view. The magician would call back his boy assistant, and, on getting no response, become furious. The magician then armed himself with a knife or sword and climbed the rope, vanishing too. An argument would be heard, and then limbs would start falling, presumably cut from the assistant by the magician. When all the parts of the body, including the torso, landed on the ground, the magician would climb down the rope. He would collect the limbs and put them in a basket, or collect the limbs in one place and cover them with a cape or blanket. Soon the boy would appear, restored ...

Probably the stars were here to be read nakshatra wise, because the Bharani asterism would not rise heliacally until after FEBRUARY 23 (TERMINALIA):

The rope which the magician would make the viewers see rising high into the skies, so high as to disappear from view, probably referred to the rope from Spica up to the Fox in Ursa Major.

Spica was essential, because it was both the end of the first part and the beginning of the next generation:

Above I have adjusted the nakshatra stars to always be 183 (= 366 / 2 = 3 * 61) days after the corresponding heliacal stars. Spica (*202), for instance, should be 183 days after Adhil (*19), but at Gb3-30 and Ga5-28 this was not so in my earlier documentation.
