... The
ordinary year in the previous Roman calendar consisted of 12 months,
for a total of 355 days. In addition, a 27-day intercalary month,
the Mensis Intercalaris, was sometimes inserted between
February and March. This intercalary month was formed by inserting
22 days after the first 23 or 24 days of February; the last five
days of February, which counted down toward the start of March,
became the last five days of Intercalaris. The net effect was to add
22 or 23 days to the year, forming an intercalary year of 377 or 378
days ...
.. 54
(February 23) at the end of Papa O Pea (Ga4-9, where 4 * 9 =
36) could imply the first part of such a Mensis Intercalaris
would end with glyph number 92 + 22 = 114 (= 6 * 19) ...
If
Pu Pakakina A Ira had been 27 - 5 = 22 nights long, then
it would have ended at the March equinox, at heliacal Sirrah (α
Andromedae).

leap day was introduced as part of the Julian reform. The day
following the Terminalia (February 23) was doubled, forming the
'bis sextum - literally 'double sixth', since February 24

inclusive counting (March 1 was the 'first day') ...
