Obviously we need the stars also of the Foal, but first we should complete our Pegasus investigation. Homan was not only ζ but also ξ according to Ulug Beg. The distance from ζ to ξ is 4 days (an exteded pair) and in this interval there are 3 other stars, viz. ο, η (Matar), and λ:

Around 1720 A.D. these 4 Pegasus stars would have been earlier than the leap from February 28 to March 1.

Beyond the following 5 Pegasus stars in 4 days of early March there was none in the following 4 days:

Glyph 363 was probably designed to illustrate half a day. 15 * 29½ = 442½. The half which is visible seems to be down in Toga (southwest).

Then, with the beginning of line Ca14, the last 3 Pegasus stars were possible to arrange in parallel with RA days 364-368:

The glyph at March 20 (80) perhaps is meant to illustrate the curve at the end, a Sign which is the opposite of the straight point in front:
