"ε, a
4th-magnitude, although lying near the dorsal fin of our
present figure, bears the very common name Deneb,
from Al Dhanab al Dulfim, the Dolphin's Tail.
But in Arabia it
also was Al Amūd al Salīb, as marking the Pillar
of the Cross.
In China it was
Pae Chaou, the Rotten Melon." (Allen)
"In Polynesia, two cultures recognized
Delphinus as a constellation. On Pukapuka, it was called
Te Toloa and in the Tuamotus, it was called Te
Uru-o-tiki." (Wikipedia)

If we assume 29 was a basic time
measure in the rongorongo texts, then the last
of the 4 + 1 days which the Dolphin stars were
occupying in the C text could be meaningfully
coordinated with e.g. the nakshatra dates:
August 1 (213) + Alhena 11 (77) =
290. This occurred in RA day 314.
314 - 213 = 101 (Sirius) and 314
- 290 = 24 (Dhanishta):
