I have now been forced to change my perception of the text. Side a is beginning not with heliacal March 22 but with nakshatra September 22. This was my earlier version:

Side a
March 21 (81) 22 23 283 107
 l
- Ca1-1 Ca1-2 390
- koia ki te hoea
0h (0.0) ε Phoenicis (0.8) Uttara Bhādrapadā-27 / Wall-14
Caph, SIRRAH (0.5) ALGENIB PEGASI (1.8), χ Pegasi (2.1)
September 19 20 21 (264)
ο Virginis (182.1) 12h (182.6) MINKAR (183.7), ρ Centauri (183.9)
ALCHITA, Ma Wei (183.1)

And this is my new version, with 12h at Ca1-1 and September 30 at Cb14-19:

Side a
September 20 21 (264) equinox 389
Ca1-1 Ca1-2 Ca1-3
koia ki te hoea ki te henua
12h (182.6) MINKAR (183.7), ρ Centauri (183.9) Pálida (184.6), Megrez (184.9), GIENAH (185.1), ε Muscae (185.2)
ALCHITA, Ma Wei (183.1)
Side b
345 September 28 29 30 (273)
Cb14-17 Cb14-18 Cb14-19 (740)
e noi koe te manu - kokoti hia te henua - tagata hakaitiiti - i te henua
Al Áwwā'-11 β Muscae (192.5), Mimosa (192.9) no star listed
χ Virginis (190.7), ρ Virginis (191.4), Porrima, γ Centauri (191.5)

From September 20 up to and including September 30 there are 740 - 11 = 729 nights.

729 = 27 * 27.
