Beid ('the Egg') was in November 20 seen close to the full Moon and Metoro made a Pause after mauga pu before continuing with Ca9-16:

Antares as heliacal star announced the arrival of summer. At the same time Aldebaran could be seen in the night. Manzil day 193 (Syrma 10) coincided with the heliacal rising of Antares.

In Ca9-17 there is a very symmetric hole, maybe representing the sun disc. It is below the midline of the figure and should therefore indicate 'south of the equator'. The mauga pu glyph could then be 'north of the equator'. We recognize the structure leading up to Polaris, though now inverted and also opposite in having a perferct hole below instead of a 'bulb' at the top.

This indicates there could be a gap in the flow of time not only after glyph 243 but also after glyph 25.

Almuqaddam 11 is day 700 if counted from Sheratan 1 at the beginning of the previous year. Counting from Sheratan 1 at the beginning of the present year means Almuqaddam 10 will be day 334 (= 699 - 365).

November 30 is Gregorian day 334.
