The way to read the text is uncertain, it could be we should simultaneously think of what star rose with the Sun and which stars were close to the Full Moon in the night. Such a method would improve the odds for a correct interpretation.

The correction
of the position of the stars in the night by inserting a leap day at
February 29 means that e.g. λ Pegasi (345.0) will be at March 1 (day 60
in an ordinary year but day 61 in a leap year). My method to here count also
February 29 will furthermore change the rule to add 184 into a rule to
add 183. For instance is 162 + 183 = 345.
Likewise will
the rule to add 80 to the RA day no longer reach the correct Gregorian
date. We have to add 81. August 30 (242) - 80 = 162, but March 1 (426) -
81 = 345.
But we can
continue to add 184 for the calendar dates, e.g. 242 + 184 = 426.

The old man who has fallen on his face could refer to
March 7 rather than to September 5. From his ashes (te kihikihi)
new growths are coming. They come from his joints (neck, knees, and ankles). At
right ascension 23h (the preceding day) we can count 62 * 6 = 372, which
perhaps points at January 7:
