3. Next we should try to answer the unavoidable question, where in the G text does Capricorn begin? It ends with its tail stars Nashira and Deneb Algiedi:
Earlier I made a list of prominent stars from 21h up to Fomalhaut:
But the list is beginning too late, I have to extend it to cover also the area from 20h:
I cannot se any obvious and immediate correlation between Gb1-14--15 and Dabih & Gredi:
However, 21 * 60 / 1440 * 365.25 = 319.6 could connect 21h with the transition from line b1 to line b2. And similarly, 22 * 60 / 1440 * 365.25 = 334.8 could indicate the demarcation line in the sky which The Lucky One of the King has managed to pass over:
"... the names [Dabih and other similar ones] undoubtedly come from Al Sa'd al Dhābi, the Lucky One of the Slaughterers, the title of the 20th manzil (of which these alphas and β were the determinant point), manifestly referring to the sacrifice celebrated by the heathen Arabs at the heliacal rising of Capricorn."
