The open henua
at left in Ca1-6 could refer to the
March equinox and there is a droplet
in the center of the figure. No toes
are visible and the neck is short.
This is in contrast to the figure in
Cb8-7 who has a very tall neck and
prominent toes in both directions.
Light is present and there is not
a droplet in the center, rather the
egg of a bird.
Comparing with Ca1-8
and Cb14-19 it seems unavoidable not
to read a gap in time between Cb8-9
and Cb8-10.
The peculiar
name Al Áwwā' could
be a kind of joke on Al
Awwal:
"The Arabians
followed Ptolemy in calling
it [Equuleus] Al Kitah al
Faras, Part of a horse,
Chilmead's Kataat Alfaras;
Al Faras al Thānī,
the Second Horse, alluding
to either its inferior
size, or to the time of its
adoption as a constellation;
and Al Faras al
Awwal,
the First Horse, in
reference to its rising
before Pegasus." (Allen)
The Arabs were alone in

Porrima culminated in May 17

Possibly
the midnight culmination
of Atlas (with no sky
globe) in December 31
should be compared with
how there was a sky
globe at heliacal
