There were 8 days from March 21 (80) to Delta in Andromeda (RA day 8.4 in rongorongo times), 80 + 8 = 88 (March 29). These 8 days could have alluded to the 8 dark nights before Venus returned as morning star.
In the times of Al Sharatain heliacal Delta was where the Kalends of March were beginning, where a new agricultural year was beginning because Porrima was close to the Full Moon:
