The 2nd Spout, Al Fargh
al Thani, is not in Aquarius but in Pisces. And of
course also
The Belly of the Fish,
Al Batn
al Hut, is in Pisces:

We could try to count with β as 0º Piscium -
a star which not yet is in my star list. But first we can
calculate the distance from the 2nd Spout to the Belly of the
Fish:
17°08'34" - 4°17'09" = 17.143º -
4.286º = 12.857º = 13.0 days.
This is exactly the distance from Sadachbia to
φ Aquarii.
12.857º * 28 = 360.00. Evidently Ibn 'Arab worked with
360º for a year with 364 days.
13 * 28 = 364 and 360 /
364 * 13 = 12.857 (whereas 360 / 365¼ * 13 = 12.813).
338.6 (Sadachbia) + 12.857º
/ 360º * 364 = 351.6 = 13.0 + 338.6.
|
Ibn
'Arab: |
|
28 * 12.857º |
= 360.00º |
= 364 days |
|
12.857º |
= 13 / 364 * 360º |
= 364 / 28 = 13 days |
|
φ

(21.428º) -

Al Batn

12.857º
= 13 days |

The first of our new stars,
β, is named Fum al
Samakah ('The Mouth of the Fish') and in rongorongo
times it rose with the Sun in March 4, the day of
another and more famous 'Mouth of the Fish', viz.
Fom-al-haut, α Piscis Austrini:

in Ca13-6 (a number similar to 136) has an empty
hand in front and the preceding glyph is number 348
(= the number of glyphs on side b of the tablet).
March 3 is day 63 (= the number to increase the
glyph numbers on the G tablet with in order to reach
the number of days from March 21). March 5 is day 65
(= 13 * 5) and 13-7 alludes to May 17 (= Sheratan
1). 13 * 7 = 91.
In March 8 (68) the
next star rose, Simmah (γ)
- a name which I have no translation for - and then followed the rest:

Dzaneb (al Samkat) - another name which I

ω at
the end of line Ca13. But possibly Dzaneb
is the same word as Deneb (the Tail)
and al Samkat
could mean 'the Fish' (cfr Fum al Samakah):
