¹ "The
starless
region [in
Pegasus]
toward
Pisces was
Al Bīrūnī's
Al Baldah,
the Fox's
Kennel, a
term for
whose
stellar
connection I
find no
explanation."
(Allen)
According to
Wikipedia
the 19th
manzil Al
Baldaah
was
beginning in
January 29,
which in
rongorongo
times
coincided
with the
nakshatra π

From
Ascella
(ζ
Sagittarii)
to
π
Sagittarii
there
are only
2.2
days.
This
short
period
suggests
a
similarity
in kind
with the
2 day
Hindu
mansion
Pushya.
"The 19th
manzil lay
in the
vacant space
from the
upper part
of the
figure
toward the
horns of the
Sea-Goat,
and was
known as
Al Baldah,
the City, or
district,
for this
region is
comparatively
untenanted.
It was
marked by
one scarcely
distinguishable
star,
probably π,
and was
bounded by
six others
in the form
of a Bow,
the Arab's
Kaus,
which,
however, was
not our Bow
of
Sagittarius.
It also was
Al Kilāda,
the
Necklace;
and Al
Udhiyy,
the
Ostrich's
Nest, marked
by our τ, ν,
ψ, ω, A, and
ζ; while the
space
between this
and the
preceding
mansions was
designated
by
Al Bīrūnī
as 'the head
of
Saittarius
and his two
locks'.
In his
discussion
of this
subject,
quoting, as
he often
did, from
Arab poets,
he compared
this 19th
manzil to
'the
interstice
between the
two eyebrows
which are
not
connected
with each
other', - a
condition
described by
the word
'Ablād,
somewhat
similar to
the Baldah
generally
applied to
it." (Allen)
² The ruling
stars of
Wikipedia are
not
identical
with those
of Ibn
'Arabi, as
provisionally mapped in my
table below:

However, I
have guessed φ
Aquarii could
be
the Wikipedia star
'Almuqaddam'
- although
Allen seems
to
have no
supporting
information.
To
come
further
we
need
a separate
list
for the
Arabic
manazil
data
of
Allen.
