Below I have tried to compress my descriptions in order to establish the main stepping 'stones', but it is not easy because there are so many such:

Revati-28 κ Tucanae (17.6) no star listed Ksora (20.1) no star listed
REVATI (16.9), ν Phoenicis (17.4)

In April the prosperous time of Revati arrived north of the equator, but on Easter Island the season of winter famine was approaching. It was not a season for moa ohoa but a season of sorrow. The Hindu nakshatra stations are describing it:

AQUARIUS:
25 Shatabisha γ Aquarii Empty circle, 1000 flowers or stars 339 = 314 + 25
comprising a hundred physicians Sadachbia Feb 23(419)
PEGASUS:
26 Purva Bhādrapadā α (Markab) and β Pegasi (Scheat) Swords or two front legs of funeral cot, man with two faces 350 = 339 + 11
the first of the blessed feet Markab March 5 (430)
27 Uttara Bhādrapadā γ Pegasi (Algenib) and α Andromedae (Sirrah) Twins, back legs of funeral cot, snake in the water 368 = 350 + 18
the second of the blessed feet Algenib March 23 (448)
PISCES:
28 Revati ζ Piscium Fish or a pair of fish, drum 384 = 368 + 16
prosperous  Revati Apr 8 (464)

In my table above the day number for April 8 is 464. In a normal Gregorian year it is day 98, but 98 + 366 = 464 = 16 * 29.

In Hevelius' description ζ Piscium is where the band to the Southern Fish is crossing the 'equator':

But this is his manipulation, because the declination of Revati is 07° 35′ N. I guess his intention was to make the knowing observer think twice. It is not a line in space which is being crossed at Revati but a line in time.

The horizontal line is like an equator in time-space and the reason ought to be Sun trying to cross over the 'wall' at 13 * 29½ = 383½ nights.

Regulus culminated at midnight in April 6 and Sadalmelik at midnight 5 glyphs later, which means 186 (= 647 - 461) days later.

October 4 (277) - April 6 (96) = 181 and April 6 (461) - 277 (October 4) = 184.

181 + 5 = 186 (= 647 - 461).
