Looking again at line Cb6 we can see that its night view is beginning with February 10 and ending with March 9. It means I have to move on beyond Dhanishta - which I guess in a way represents a last nakshatra station - number 24 is like the completed midnight hour.

Probably the name Shatabisha is a variant of the star name Sadachbia. The Arabic manzil name is Al Sa'ad al Ahbiyah (Lucky Star of Hidden Things), although it was ruled also by the stars ζ, η, and π Aquarii.
I have inserted also Al Fargh al Mukdim at Markab (α Pegasi) which according to the Hindu ruled 'the first of the blessed feet' (Purva Bhādrapadā). This is only 0.5 before RA 350.0 and March 6 (3-6) where I have no star listed.
The first glyph in line Cb6 coincides with the heliacal rising of Sadalsud in February 10, the star which - together with ξ Aquarii (Bunda) and c (46) Capricorni - ruled the 22nd manzil Al Sa'ad al Su'ud (Luckiest of the Lucky). But the Hindu system has no station here. Instead there is a long jump in time (27 days) from 'the most famous' Dhanishta to Shatabisha.
February 23 - when in rongorongo times Sadachbia rose with the Sun and Castor culminated in the night - was the Roman Terminalia
... The ordinary year in the previous Roman calendar consisted of 12 months, for a total of 355 days. In addition, a 27-day intercalary month, the Mensis Intercalaris, was sometimes inserted between February and March. This intercalary month was formed by inserting 22 days after the first 23 or 24 days of February; the last five days of February, which counted down toward the start of March, became the last five days of Intercalaris. The net effect was to add 22 or 23 days to the year, forming an intercalary year of 377 or 378 days ...
The leap day was introduced as part of the Julian reform. The day following the Terminalia (February 23) was doubled, forming the 'bis sextum - literally 'double sixth', since February 24 was 'the sixth day before the Kalends of March' using Roman inclusive counting (March 1 was the 'first day').
Although exceptions exist, the first day of the bis sextum (February 24) was usually regarded as the intercalated or 'bissextile' day since the third century. February 29 came to be regarded as the leap day when the Roman system of numbering days was replaced by sequential numbering in the late Middle Ages.
Possibly the 27 day jump in time from Dhanishta to Shatabisha should be considered as a parallel to the 27-day long Roman intercalary month.
There is a special type of 'kiore' in March 4 when the Fish Mouth stars were rising heliacally (the day before Markab Pegasi):
