In which case 73 should be before Ca1-1 and rather
late on side b:
73 - 19
(Cb14) = 54 (= 2 * 27). 54 - 30 (Cb13) = 24. There are 25 glyphs in
line Cb12:

|
|
|
70 |
Cb11-22 |
Cb12-1 |
Cb12-2 |
Cb12-3 |
Cb12-4 |
73 |
Glyph line Cb12 is number 14 + 12 = 26 in the
text and 740 - 480 (as in Cb12-4 where we can count 12 * 4 =
48) = 260.
From September 30 (273) to the end of the
Gregorian year there are 365 - 273 = 92 days. And Gregorian day 73 is March 14 - i.e. 3-14.

From March 14 to March 22 there are 8 days and
by jumping 8 days to Ca1-9 this fact may have been alluded to:

A sense of symmetry could demand 73
days also after September 30 (273):
73 |
200 |
73 |
St Lucia |
March 14 |
September 30 |
December 12 |
346 = 2 * 173 |
St Lucia in December 13 (347)
indicates a return of light. Should we let the
pattern continue, then December 13 would be the
first day of another 200. 346 + 200 = 546 = 2 *
273.
However, there were 8 black nights before
December 21, when the Sun would begin to wake up
again. In the meantime candles should be used in
order to help him return.
200 - 8 = 192, which happens to
be equal to the distance from June 21 (172) to
December 30 (364).
172 - 8 = 164 (June 13).
