The calendar of the Moon has 8 periods (to be compared with 12 months for the Sun). Its first period is beginning with glyph 157 (= 314 / 2). From position 6-17 we can count 61 weeks (= 427) and number 61, we remember, was used in the H, P, and Q texts. 61 * 6 = 366.
Probably it is the face of the full moon which is depicted in Ca7-24. September 29 is day 272, which number equals 2 * 136. There are 31 glyphs in line a7, but the last 7 (not 4) glyphs are evidently to be considered as the beginning of line a8 (and of period 5) - see next page. |
