The fall of Jupiter was, I have guessed, in the month from *JUNE 10 (161) up to and including *JULY 7 (188), with a funeral wake stretching to day 188 + 7 = 195 (*JULY 14). However, the creator of the C text could have documented another kind of terminal month from *JULY 10 (*111) to *JULY 26 (*127):

... Midsummer is the flowering season of the oak, which is the tree of endurance and triumph, and like the ash is said to 'court the lightning flash'. Its roots are believed to extend as deep underground as its branches rise in the air - Virgil mentions this - which makes it emblematic of a god whose law runs both in Heaven and in the Underworld ... The month, which takes its name from Juppiter the oak-god, begins on June 10th and ends of July 7th. Midway comes St. John's Day, June 24th, the day on which the oak-king was sacrificially burned alive. The Celtic year was divided into two halves with the second half beginning in July, apparently after a seven-day wake, or funeral feast, in the oak-king's honour ...

There was a pair of halves (Jupiter and Saturn, so to say) and reasonably Father Light (Jus Piter) would enter the scene somewhere after the winter solstice. January, at the opposite side of July, could be where Jupiter was taking over the command from his tanist Saturn.

... The divine names Bran, Saturn, Cronos ... are applied to the ghost of Hercules that floats off in the alder-wood boat after his midsummer sacrifice. His tanist, or other self, appearing in Greek legend as Poeas who lighted Hercules' pyre and inherited his arrows, succeeds him for the second half of the year; having acquired royal virtue by marriage with the queen, the representative of the White Goddess, and by eating some royal part of the dead man's body - heart, shoulder or thigh-flesh.

He is in turn succeeded by the New Year Hercules, a reincarnation of the murdered man, who beheads him and, apparently, eats his head. This alternate eucharistic sacrifice made royalty continous, each king in turn the Sun-god beloved of the reigning Moon-goddess. But when these cannibalistic rites were abandoned and the system was gradually modified until a single king reigned for a term of years, Saturn-Cronos-Bran became a mere Old Year ghost, permanently overthrown by Juppiter-Zeus-Belin though yearly conjured up for placation at the Saturnalia or Yule feast ...

 

 

The alderwood boat was in July, at the opposite side of the coin (year) compared to Janus.

July 14 (195) marked the endpoint of Jupiter, perhaps at the border line (horizon) between day and night - heads respectively tail (singular). In February 14 was another cardinal point, 45 days counted from January 1, and March 14 (73) in some way could correspond to 3-14 (= 22 / 7).

... Looking towards the horizon in the west in the early evening there could be a time when those living in the tropical belt suddenly felt the need to lean their heads in the opposite direction in order to continue to see the cap, or in the case of women - to continue to see the cup:

... Maui tilted his head on the side. Anyone acquainted with the hei tiki figure will recognize it in his gesture ... As I see this picture of a green hei tiki there is another head below, on which the tilted top one is resting. Maybe the top one is resting on the forehead of the one below. Yes, and we should probably see yet another head at the bottom: ... 'Aha,' he cooed to himself, 'there are my father and my mother just below me.'

We can find April 14 as a date of birth, because 414 had to be alluding to Bharani (*41.4) and to 14 * 29 ½ = 413 + 1. The Arabs saw this:

Counting from February 14 (the day of all the 'hearts' - i.e., plumb bobs) to July 14 - at the end of the wake (as in funeral wake) behind the ship of Father Light - there were 195 - 45 = 150 days, possibly representing 5 months of spring.

We should therefore go back to the time before Christianity, to the Heathen times when there still was a perception in depth because there was a pair of 'twin eyes' ('year in leaf' respectively 'year in straw'):
