In the G text Al
Shaula
should be first
in the nakshatra
position of Ga1-18
- which seems
well in
harmony with the death-skull - although
I have instead
pointed at
heliacal Heka as

And finally, by once again adding 183 we should reach glyph 201 + 183 = 384, with
Al
Shaula
again close to the Full Moon. With 365 days in a year, however, only 182 can be added in order to find the heliacal dates:

There are eye-catching tails in Gb6-1 and Gb6-4 which could mean the text here should be read nakshatra wise (with the tail of the Scorpion illustrated).
Gb6-3 is a kind of kava, we can see by comparing with Cb3-4:
