By assembling
circumstantial
evidence it has
gradually become
more and more clear
(hoata) that
the beginning of
November may have
been regarded as the
month when the
heliacal stars
('stones') of early
May
were visible close
to the full Moon in
the night. The
zodiacal stars
describes the path
of Sun in a year,
but to see them it
was necessary to
look in the night
when Sun was on the
other side of the
year.

The name of
δ Bootis - at his
right (front in
time) shoulder and
connected with a
spear - has been
assigned by someone
as Princeps, but
that could be the
opposite of the real
significance of this
star. The spear
(like the crooked
blade) indicates a
time of 'killing',
not of arriving. And
Metoro said
oho
(leaving):
Allen, regarding the
Aries constellation:
"... The Atamas
used by Columella
was a classical
reproduction of the
Euphratean Tammuz
Dum-uzi, the Only
Son of Life, whom
Aries at one time
represented in the
heavens, as did
Orion at a previous
date, perhaps when
it marked the vernal
equinox 4500 B.C.
Cicero and Ovid
styled the
constellation
Cornus;
elsewhere it was
Corniger and
Laniger;
Vervex, the
Wether; Dux
opulenti gregis;
Caput arietinum;
and in allusion to
its position,
Aequinoctialis.
Vernus Portitor,
the Spring-bringer,
is cited by Caesius,
who also mentioned
Arcanus, that may
refer to the secret
rites in the worship
of the divinities
whom Aries
represented.
From about the year
1730 before our era
he was the
Princeps signorum
coelestium,
Princeps zodiaci,
and the Ductor
exercitus zodiaci,
continuing so
through Hipparchos'
time; Manilius
writing of this:
The Ram
having pass'd the
Sea serenely shines,
// And leads the
Year, the Prince of
all the Signs.
But about A.D. 420
his office was
transferred to
Pisces."
Possibbly the 12 +
12 glyphs following
number 231 could
represent the 24h of
right ascension.
November 8 could be
counted as 9 * 8 =
72.

However, the
structure of the

should count 12
glyphs from
November 7 in
order to reach
16h. 243 - 61 =

at least
according to G,
