So far I have counted (on side b of the Mamari tablet) with 184 days as the difference between the heliacal and nakshatra days, for instance July 15 (196) + 184 = 380 (January 15):

Punarvasu 2 3 4 (90) 5
Heka 5 6 7 8 (61)
July 13 14 15 (196) 16
Cb4-17 (480) Cb4-18 Cb4-19 Cb4-20

Punarvasu 6 7 8 (94)
Heka 9 10 11 (64)

no stars listed Drus (119.9)
Sravana 4 5 (277) 6

Al Naam 2 3 4 (248)
Alshain (301.6), ε Pavonis, θ Sagittarii (302.3) μ Pavonis (302.7) 20h (304.4)
δ Pavonis (304.5)

But possibly I should change this to a rule with 183 days as the difference and orient the nakshatra dates from Altair in January 15 (380). Altair could be at Cb4-20 instead of at Cb4-19 and 380 - 183 = 197 (July 16):

Punarvasu 2 3 4 (90) 5

Such a change would furthermore result in e.g. RA 20h (304.4) relocated to the 1st glyph in line Cb5 instead of being at the last glyph in line Cb4. It would also redate for instance the 1st glyph on side b from Gregorian day 291 (October 18) to Gregorian day 290, with RA 14h (213.1) not at Cb1-3 but at Cb1-4:

Thuban (212.8), χ Centauri (213.0), Menkent (213.1)

Thuban (212.8) - 183 = 29.8 and my heliacal dates (according to the Gregorian, the manzil, and the Hindu system) would stay intact.

Therefore I can here present the heliacal side of the glyphs in line Cb5. My decision as to what precise locations the nakshatra side should have can wait until later:
