In the C text the Gregorian day number equals the glyph number + 80, because the March equinox is Gregorian day 80. In the G text the Gregorian day number equals the glyph number - 329, perhaps because November 25 is Gregorian day 329, when in rongorongo times Antares rose with the Sun.

North of the equator the March equinox served as 'the First Point of Aries' (0h) and a sign of the summer 'year' ahead. South of the equator a similar function was served by Antares which rose heliacally 64 days after Gienah and the September equinox.

I guess these 64 days from Gienah to Antares could have been one factor among others when the creator of the G text decided to put the beginning of side a 64 days after March 21.
North of the equator the Gregorian year was beginning 80 days before spring equinox and south of the equator the year could have begun 64 days after spring equinox, making for a sense of beautiful order:
| First day of new year: |
| North |
8 * 10 |
= 80 days |
before spring equinox |
| South |
8 * 8 |
= 64 days |
after spring equinox |
