We could therefore expect a great change 4 glyphs later than at Ga3-17 comparable to turning the tablet around. MARCH 17 (Gb8-27) can be written 3-17 and 317 + 4 = 321 could allude to Ga3-21 (80 days beyond 0h):

321 is like a countdown towards 0 and day zero would then be 118 (= 2 * 59) days from *JANUARY 1.

In August 10 (222) the star Sadalsud (β Aquarii) was close to the Full Moon. In February 9 (40) Sadalsud rose with the Sun and Alphard (α Hydrae) was close to the Full Moon.

August 10 (222) - 107 = 115, i.e. when Wezen a long time ago was at 0h then Alphard would have risen with the Sun in "APRIL 25 (115). The Chorti diviners began to searh for 5 proper stones when their calendar said February 9 and when their calendar said April 25 they began to raise the sky.

Possibly it meant that once upon a time first Sadalsud had to rise with the Sun and then Alphard to rise with the Sun half a year later. 40 (February 9) + 182 = 222 (August 10).
