The transition from Winter Maid
to Summer Maid evidently could have taken place
after 341 - 137 = 204 days:

 |
|
December 7
(341) |
Hine-raumati |

 |
But the pair of stars at the beginning of line
Cb8 appear to be located 341 - 278 = 63 days earlier (reminding
us of how 63 should be added to the glyph numbers in the G
text):

Let's once again review the steps from Cb1 to Cb8 and remember the rule which connected glyph 403 with Toliman, viz.
403 - 182 = 221, because without it we are bound to go astray:

563 - 182 =
381 = 365 + 16. Therefore Cb8-1 will be the place for those stars
which rose with the Sun in day 17 after March 21. 462 (April 7) -
365 = 97 = 80 + 17.
The strange difference with 63 days (9 weeks) from October 5
to December 7 does not appear to have any effect on the lower
(nakshatra ) register and we should be able to go on safely.
The distance 341 (December
7) - 137 (May 17)
= 204 ought to mean the Summer Maid had only 365 - 204 = 161
days, which seems quite unacceptable. 161 + 63 = 224 would have
been better. But such mysteries will eventually be cleared
up. |
