There is thus strong evidence that
Ana-roto (Spica) had a central role not only in the
C text but also in the time structure based on the
stars.
There are probably several additional
counting miracles connected with Spica and we should at
least take a quick look at glyph number 569 - 13 * 13 = 400, at the
opposite side of the deluge:

In the midst of where no other listed star
can be seen was the twinkling Mira (ο Ceti) at the
neck of
the Sea Beast:
It could have been imagined that the mane
sometimes covered the star causing the change in its
brightness, between 2.0 and 10.1 according to my
astronomy book. The period of change was once measured
as 333 days.
