Line Cb2 is beginning
with manzil day 360 and
a triplet of glyphs
which obviously should
be compared with those 5
earlier similar triplets
at the end of side a and
at the beginning of line

"In Hindu mythology, the god
Skanda was raised by the six sisters known as
the
Krttikā and thus came to be known as
Kartikeya (literally 'Him of the
Krttikā')." (Wikipedia)
The sound transcribed as 'ri' (or
simply as 'r') is a wovel.
We can see there are 6 stars
relatively close together followed by Alcyone, the
brightest star in the group, and then by the pair
Pleione and Atlas.
