6. The star ε Carinae (which also is so variable a light source as to sometimes disappear completely) is not located in the 3rd hour, but we should take the opportunity to see whether there is any evidence of it in the G text.

I have reduced the current right ascension value according to Wikipedia (08h 22m 30.86s) by 2½m. Counted from 00h 08m 23.17s for Sirrah there are 8h 14m 7.69s to Avior, which can be added to my table value for Sirrah, viz. 00h 06m. My table values can be reached from the current Wikipedia values by reducing by 2½m. Remarkably 8 * 60 + 20 = 500, a beautiful number. With a 360-day long cycle the glyph number in G becomes 533, exactly 80 glyphs after Saturday at Gb8-11 (Menkar):

Gb8-1 (443)	Gb8-2	Gb8-3	Gb8-4	Gb8-5
Mira (442.7)

Gb8-6 (448)	Gb8-7	Gb8-8	Gb8-9	Gb8-10
	Kaffaljidhma (448.8)

Gb8-11 (453)	Gb8-12	Gb8-13
Menkar (453.7)

A glyph number beyond 16 * 29½ should be reduced by 472, and 534.8 - 472 = 62.8, which (seemingly significant) puts us in the 1st henua period:

1
	Ga2-27	Ga2-28	Ga2-29
	Ga3-1 (*4)	Ga3-2	Ga3-3 (63)	Ga3-4	Ga3-5

Earlier I have commented (cfr at Kiore):

Niu in Ga2-29 (where 2-29 could allude to 229, the number of glyphs on side a) is glyph number 2 * 266 = 532. Presumably it means the back side of the cycle of Sun ends here ...

But 533 is the number for manu kake (the climbing bird) in Ga3-1 if we count with Gb8-30 as the first glyph, which suggests we should use the value 533 (based on a 360-day cycle) for Avior (a name which sounds like a bird).

The following comments are worthy of repeating in full:

... Spring equinox south of the equator comes at day number 358 + (266 - 172) = 452 (= 365 + 87), or 80 days earlier than day 532: North of the equator South of the equator spring equinox 80 autumn equinox 266 summer solstice 172 winter solstice 358 = 266 +172 - 80 autumn equinox 266 spring equinox 87 = 358 + (266 - 172) - 365 winter solstice 356 summer solstice 177 = 87 + (356 - 266) = 6 * 29½ Day number 452 is located at Gb8-10 (where 8 * 10 = 80): Gb7-31 Gb8-1 Gb8-2 Gb8-3 Gb8-4 Gb8-5 Gb8-6 Gb8-7 Gb8-8 Gb8-9 Gb8-10 (452) Gb8-11 Gb8-12 Gb8-13 Gb8-14 Gb8-15 Gb8-16 79 Gb8-10 (452) Ga2-29 (60) 8 * 10 = 80 80 I have tried to count from day number 266 and it gives meaningful results: 176 Gb2-10 (*0) Gb8-1 (*177) Gb8-2 Gb8-3 Gb8-4 (*180) Gb8-5 Gb8-6 Gb8-7 Gb8-8 Gb8-9 (*185) Gb8-10 (*186) Gb8-11 Gb8-12 Gb8-13 Gb8-14 Gb8-15 Gb8-16 (*192) The beginning of line b8 comes 6 lunar synodic months (177 nights) beyond autumn equinox (Gb2-10). At Gb8-16 the ordinal number becomes 192 (as at full moon in the Mamari moon calendar and also the length of the K text). A quick look at day number ½ * 266 = 133 takes us to the beginning of the 20th henua period: 20th period Ga5-22 (133) Ga5-23 Ga5-24 Ga5-25 Ga5-26 Ga5-27 Ga5-28 Ga5-29 (140) 132 132 132 132 Ga5-22 (133) Gb2-10 (266) Gb6-16 (399) Ga2-29 (532) 52 * 2 = 104 20 61 * 6 = 366 80

I think we can conclude that the creator of the G text has taken Avior (curiously not Aviator) into consideration. Counted from Mira there is a quarter of a year to Avior:

					25
Gb8-1 (443)	Gb8-2	Gb8-3	Gb8-4	Gb8-5
Mira (442.7)

60
	Ga3-1 (61)	Ga3-2	Ga3-3	Ga3-4	Ga3-5
	Avior (534.8)
